Ko Tap (GPS: 7.96081, 98.81208), also written Koh Tub, and Ko Mor (GPS: 7.96101, 98.80999) are two tiny islands sandwiched between Ko Kai (Chicken Island) in the south, and Ko Poda in the north. There is a sandbar linking Ko Tap to Ko Mor and Ko Kai, but this can only be used when the tide is very low.
Ko Tap and Ko Mor attracts a lot of visitors to enjoy the sea which is crystal clear. The sea around these two islands offer good snorkelling, with an abundance of tropical fish in a multitude of hues.
Many tourist boats stopover at Ko Tap so that visitors can have a feel of the islands with its sand bank that allows them to explore the sea while keeping their feet firmly on solid ground.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
