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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
