4 miles from Ao Nang, Krabi
(NORTH KOH PODA NAI) There is an abundance of government moorings here in 6 metres with secure overnight anchorage in 12 metres between the main island and the small islet. The bottom is sandy giving way to coral outcrops towards the beach. On shore is a nice beach and flat sandy ground shaded by casuarinas – fine for cool walks around the island.
A bungalow resort with a restaurant is nestled up against the hill. Snorkellers should swim off the north-eastern end of the beach, where there is an area of colourful shallow coral reef.
