Chicken Island (Koh Gai/Kai or Hua Khwan)
Chicken Island is named after the strange rock formation which looks like the head and neck of an chicken. One end of the island consists of steep cliffs, while the other end has beautiful beaches along a sloping peninsula. At high tide, this peninsula gets flooded, creating a small island.
There is no accommodation on Hua Khwan island, but excellent snorkeling opportunities in warm and clear water, rich in coral life await you. Koh Gai can be visited all year round. (Not affected by the monsoon - May - October)
Chicken Island is one of Mu Ko Poda Mu (Poda Islands). Situated south of Ao Nang, 8 km offshore, Mu Ko Poda (Poda Islands) are fringed by clear waters and white sandy beaches, as well as pristine coral reefs. They are a year-round attraction; an excellent place for fishing because they are not affected so much by the monsoon. Mu Ko Poda can be reached within 25 minutes by boat from Ao Nang. Many noteworthy islands like Ko Thap, Ko Mo, Ko Hua Khwan, and Ko Kai are situated nearby. A beautiful sandy beach, connecting these islands, is visible at low tide.
