Exploring the storied waters of Thailand's Andaman coast brings travelers to the remarkable contours of Ko Kai, commonly known as Chicken Island, named for a rocky outcrop that uncannily resembles a chicken's head and neck. This small island, part of the Poda group of islands, offers not just a whimsical landmark but also an escape into the region's natural grandeur.
Ko Kai stands as a sentinel in the sea, its craggy silhouette a beacon for those who seek the unique interplay of sea, sky, and stone. The island's avian-inspired monolith is a geological tapestry, millions of years in the making, now posing for the quintessential snapshot that has become a symbol of the area's rugged beauty.
The island's beaches are slices of tropical bliss, with crystal-clear waters hugging the shores. Snorkeling here is an immersion into an underwater carnival, with vibrant coral reefs teeming with a kaleidoscope of marine life. The island's aquatic environment is a microcosm of the Andaman's biodiversity, showcasing an array of fish that dart through the water like living jewels.
Beyond the allure of its famous rock formation, Ko Kai is a testament to the serenity of Thailand's lesser-known isles. It's a place where one can bask in the warmth of the sun, on sands that whisper tales of the sea's perpetual motion, and gaze upon waters that stretch to the horizon, unbroken and free.
The visit to Ko Kai is more than a mere stop on a tourist trail; it's a journey into the heart of nature's artistry. As the day yields to the golden hour, the setting sun casts a glow on the Chicken's silhouette, transforming the island into a silhouette of storybook perfection.

Read moreNot because of the many chickens on the island but because of the unique shape of the mountain peak that resembles a chicken. This time we didn't lean back but stopped for a moment in the ocean. The guide gives 30 minutes for those who want to swim or snorkel. Unfortunately it is not rented out or provided snorkeling equipment here. There also no information in advance that we would have a chance to snorkel.
As a result, we are quite satisfied with feeding the fish because our snack are suitable for fish tastes :D. The fish types here are no different from Karimun Java and Thousand Islands Indonesia. The kind that would summon the herd if...
