Ko Kai (Chicken Island)

Ko Poda Nok, Krabi (4 November, 2005)


Ko Poda Nok (GPS: 7.9539, 98.80686) is an island in the sea in Krabi Province, Thailand. It is often nicknamed Ko Kai, which means Chicken Island, and is variously spelled as Koh Gai and Koh Khai. The island is also called Koh Hua Khawan. It was given this nickname because of the rock formation at one side of the island, which has the appearance of a chicken. Ko Poda Nok consists of steep cliffs on one end, and beautiful beaches along a peninsula on the other. At high tide, this peninsula gets flooded, creating a small island. There is no accommodation on Ko Poda Nok. However it offers excellent snorkeling opportunities in its warm and clear water which is rich in coral. As it is not affected by the monsoon, it can be visited all year round.

Ko Poda Nok is south of Ko Poda, and is the largest in a cluster of islets. Surrounding it include Ko Tap in the north, Ko Khom in the southeast, Ko Ya Wa Bon in the southwest, Ko Ya Wa Bong Ko and Ko Urai in the west.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
