We took a long tail boat for 300 baht each return for the afternoon (about 3 hrs). The water was really beautiful and clear with lot's of tropical fish swimming around. It was a great change to Ao nang and a much better place for swimming and beach combing in our opinion. We didn't see any monkeys but we did... More

We saw Poda as part of a "four islands tour", so it was just a 90-minute stop for lunch and snorkelling. I'd say "check the weather forecast!" Our outing was slightly curtailed by a downpour, and it was obvious that if it had rained from the outset, the trip would have been a disaster. The islands are not far out... More

We went here on our last full day in Thailand. It was a little windy so the water wasn't flat but it was still very blue, clear, and good for swimming. Sand is white powder. Somebody wrote a few reviews ago "no idea why there weren't more people to the left of the boat docking area". I might have the... More

This is a great place for sun basking. The sand here was soft and the seawater here was clean and warm. One might be able to see some fishes and crabs in the water. The drawbacks are too many wooden branches were floating in the seawater and you will need to pay for entering the toilet. Anyway, one can get... More

This is a nice Island, be sure to walk left for about 5-10 minutes on the beach. This area is nice and quiet. Unfortunatley the area where all the boats come in can obviously get overcrowded and there is a lot of rubbish flying about. Such a shame. Our large group of 14 went to the left of the island...

Don't go to this island. We had great expectations of this island but we were so disappointed. Crowded with toursits and pilles of trash everywere. It is so dirty. We stayed for 15 minutes and than we asked our taxiboat to bring us back. We were happy that we were back at our own beach in Ao Nang.

It´s wonderful beach with white sand and crystal clear sea. I think it´s one of the most favorite beaches for tourists who visit Ao Nang. It´s cheap to get there (from Ao Nang about 200 bath / maximum 15 minutes) and if you go through the island you will really enjoy this charming and calm place.

We did a four island speedboat day-trip and we stopped here for lunch. I was disappointed with the crowds and the boats but then we asked our guide if there was a good swimming spot and he sent us to the left of the boat docking area. I have no idea why but there were only a handful of people... More

This is the typical place for lunch stop in the half day trips to the islands in front of Ao Nang beach. It was crowded with people, speed boats and long tail boats were contansly arriving and departing and the smell of gasoline was anoying. In top of that the maintenance of the island was very poor with rubbish everywhere... More
