Koh Poda, Krabi Excursion
Koh Poda (Krabi): brief description
Koh Poda, also known as Poda Island or Ko Pa Da Nai, is a small fairytale island in the south of Thailand just off the coast of Krabi. Its proximity to the main resorts (Ao Nang, Railay Beach and Klong Muang) makes it easy to visit on a day boat tour. On Koh Poda, a little piece of paradise awaits you with one of Krabi’s most amazing beaches. A soft sandy beach, incredibly clear sea, pristine reefs for snorkeling and a grand landscape with cliffs like out of a picture book are just some of its attractions.
Benefits of the location:
- A corner of unspoiled nature. Beach with fine white sand and clear sea – just like in the “Bounty” commercials. An ideal place to relax and enjoy the magnificent beach scenery. It is part of the Hud Nopharaththara – Mu Koh Phi Phi Phi national park.
- Snorkeling. The variety of coral reefs attract snorkeling enthusiasts from everywhere for a reason.
- Impressive size: 600/1000 meters: there is room to walk around.
- Long coastline with great views, including the Raleigh Peninsula.
- Limestone cliffs. Near the island you can see a huge picturesque 100-meter cliff Koh Ma Tang Ming. The most beautiful stretch of beach is near the attractive limestone cliff, which resembles the famous Raleigh beach.
- Monkeys. You can meet some funny animals here, but don’t forget to be vigilant: the little thieves can snatch your belongings.
- Near the cliffs is a great place for diving.
- Local cuisine. Street vendors will easily satisfy your appetite with the delicacies of the local cuisine.
Nuances

Distance and travel time from Chalong Pier
In a straight line it is about 53 km (29 nautical miles) from Chalong Pier to Koh Poda. This is an approximate straight-line distance, not an exact navigational figure — the actual route on the water is always somewhat longer.
For a motor yacht, a crossing of this length typically takes about 1–2 hours, depending on the yacht, the weather and the state of the sea. The departure pier is also chosen to suit the route and the vessel, so we confirm the exact timing and departure point when planning your trip.
When planning a longer day on the water, this trip is often combined with Chicken Island (Koh Kai) or Railay Beach.
