Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Koh Kai (Thai: Chicken Island) owes its name to the limestone rock at its southern tip, which, from the right angle at sea, does indeed resemble the head and neck of a chicken. It lies about nine kilometers off the coast of Krabi, can be reached from Ao Nang in about half an hour by longtail boat, and belongs to the same national park as Koh Poda and Tup Island.

Most excursions take place on the water. The 4-island tour stops at the rock for photos and snorkeling over the coral reefs around its base. This is one of the best shallow-water snorkeling spots on the tour. Afterward, the boats continue to Tup Island, where a sandbar connects the islands at low tide. Opinions vary on how suitable the island's beach is for sunbathing. Therefore, Chicken Island is best visited for its views and snorkeling opportunities rather than its beach, making it a great place for a relaxing afternoon.
