Ko Poda (Poda Island)
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays gives the calmest water and soft light, ideal for photos. Dry season, November to April, has the most stable weather for swimming and snorkelling.
Budget tips
No formal island entrance fee for most visitors, expect to pay for boat transfer only; shared longtail trips from Ao Nang usually cost 150–400 THB per person, full-day group tours 800–1,200 THB, private longtails 800–1,500 THB; bring cash and pack snacks to avoid higher vendor prices.

About
Brze činjenice: Powdery white sand and dramatic limestone cliffs frame a shallow turquoise lagoon that glows under midday sun. Visitors stroll a broad sandbar at low tide, spotting colorful reef fish and feeling warm, sun-baked stones underfoot.
Istaknuto: At low tide a ribbon of powdery white sand stretches roughly 200 meters out into clear, shallow water, so you can walk knee-deep while schools of neon-striped fish dart around your ankles and longtail boats bob like tiny, painted islands on the horizon. Local families often bring charcoal grills and whole grilled squid, and some fishermen leave a single lit candle on the shore at dusk to help guide boats back, the flickering lights reflecting in the glassy shallows like a row of hand-held stars.
Insider tips
- Wear reef shoes for easy walks on the sandbar and protection from sharp coral fragments.
- Photographers should aim for sunrise or late afternoon for soft light on the limestone cliffs and clear reflections.
- Avoid midday on weekends when day-trip crowds arrive; catch the first or last boat to enjoy quieter sand and better snorkelling.
- Bring your own snorkel gear and a small dry bag, shore snorkelling often reveals abundant reef fish without a boat trip.
