About this audio guide
This guide to the Tub Islands off Krabi covers Talay Waek, the twice-daily sandbar that briefly links Chicken Island, Koh Mor and Tub Island into one walkable stretch of seabed. You'll hear how the exposed sand splits into two arms, what marine life turns up in the shallows at low tide, and how quickly the whole path disappears again. It's best timed around low tide, when the crossing is at its widest.
