Poda Island Krabi

Poda Island Krabi, the beauty of Ao Nang that mr.hotsia must share

When talking about Krabi province, many people think of beautiful seas, white sandy beaches, clear waters, and numerous islands scattered around Ao Nang. For me,mr.hotsiaone of the destinations I never miss every time I visit Krabi isPoda Islanda small island hidden in the Andaman Sea, yet full of charm that makes me fall in love every time I experience it.

Poda Island is located in Mueang Krabi District, about 8 kilometers from the shore. It is easy to reach by long-tail boat from Ao Nang Pier, taking about 30 minutes. I once took a boat in the early morning when the weather was not too hot, the sky was clear, and the sea was so clear that I could see fish swimming beneath the boat. This feeling made me realize, “This is truly a paradise for sea lovers.”

First impression with the fine white sandy beach

Poda Island features a beach with fine white sand and clear blue sea, perfect for those who want to relax and enjoy the sea view without disturbance. There are no resorts or large buildings like on other famous islands, keeping the nature intact and very peaceful.

I, mr.hotsia, remember when I first stepped off the boat and touched the sand on Poda Island; it was soft and cool to the feet. This place is perfect for families, couples, or even solo travelers who want to relax their minds peacefully.

Snorkeling and coral reef watching activities at Poda Island

Another great thing I love is snorkeling around the island. The colorful corals and various fish swimming around always amaze me. Snorkeling here does not require advanced skills and is enjoyable for all ages. The advantage is there are many snorkeling spots around the island, so each visit offers something new.

For adventure seekers who want to try diving, you can easily contact diving tours at Ao Nang or Krabi town. After swimming, don't forget to check out the clipPoda Island Krabithat I recorded, which will clearly show the atmosphere I described.

Fresh seafood and seaside atmosphere not to be missed

After swimming until tired, I, mr.hotsia, like to relax at small restaurants on the island or near Ao Nang Pier. Here, fresh seafood is available in abundance, including shrimp, shellfish, crab, and fish, cooked in local spicy styles. Importantly, the prices are very reasonable compared to the freshness and atmosphere.

If you like local Krabi food, you might want to stop byCook Thewada restaurantwhich I have written about before. I guarantee the deliciousness and aroma of spices will impress you as much as the sea.

Travel tips from mr.hotsia

For traveling to Poda Island, I recommend leaving Ao Nang Pier in the morning to avoid crowds and strong sun. You can choose either a long-tail boat or a speedboat, both convenient and safe.

Don't forget to prepare sunscreen, a hat, drinking water, and a camera because the beautiful views here are perfect for capturing memories.
