Poda Island, a very beautiful Krabi sea. The protected area is a white sand beach with lots of fish swimming. A dive site for snorkeling that is still in abundance. During the months of November - April, there are a lot of foreigners. During other months there are few people, there is rain and the sea is rough. On the island there are shops selling snacks, water, and food.
