Koh Poda is an island off the west coast of Thailand, located in Krabi Province, approximately 8 kilometers offshore from Ao Nang. It is part of the Poda Group of islands and is known for its stunning scenery, crystal clear waters, and abundant marine life, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and day trips. The island features a central limestone outcrop enclosed by a soft white sandy beach and is draped with a canopy of palm trees, providing a perfect tropical backdrop. At low tide, a sandbar emerges, connecting Koh Poda with the nearby islets, allowing visitors to walk between them. The island's most recognizable feature is the tall, narrow rock formation that rises from the sea near the beach, often photographed and widely recognized as a symbol of Krabi's natural beauty. Despite its small size, Koh Poda offers a serene escape with a quiet beach and views of the surrounding Andaman Sea. Due to its natural allure and proximity to the mainland, it can attract its fair share of tourists during peak seasons.
