Two small islands, unspoilt by tourism! Top for diving and snorkeling. I'm picky and this was beautiful!

Amazing diving area. Lots to see and plenty of opportunity to observe various sea life (seahorses, clown fish, moray eels etc...) up close.

Koh Poda in Krabi is a stunningly beautiful island. It's a well-protected park with white sandy beaches and abundant marine life. It's also a fantastic snorkeling destination with remarkably well-preserved coral reefs. From November to April, it's very crowded, with fewer tourists during other months, although there might be rain and the sea can be rough. There are shops on the island selling snacks, drinks, and food.

Beautiful Island but bad visibility for diving (5m at max) and not to much exciting marine life in the waters
