Chicken Island, also known as Axe Handle Island, is an unusually shaped island in the Ao Nang subdistrict, Mueang Krabi district, Krabi province. Its various names derive from the distinctive cliff on its southern side. Visitors interpret it differently: some see a chicken's head, others an axe handle, and foreigners even mistake it for Popeye.

This uniquely shaped island in Krabi province is home to a natural rock formation resembling a chicken's head and is a highlight of the 4-island tour (which also includes Talay Waek, Koh Tub, and Koh Poda). It's a popular spot for snorkeling, enjoying the clear waters, and taking panoramic photos from the boat.

Chicken Island, like other islands, offers numerous activities. Snorkeling is possible in both shallow and deep waters. While the coral reefs aren't as numerous as on some other islands, a snorkeling trip is still worthwhile. Here you'll also find white sand beaches, crystal-clear blue water, and tigerfish.
