T.I.C.D.: Mu Ko Phi Phi & Mu Ko Poda
A pair of popular island groups in Krabi province, condensed.
Welcome back to the Thai Island & Coastal Directory, a book-in-progress that promises to be the most complete guide to coastal Thailand ever written in English, covering more than 800 islands and all 24 coastal provinces. I’m releasing it piecemeal (four sections monthly) here at Thai Island Quest.
For info on how to use the T.I.C.D. and a working Table of Contents, paddle here. To view all previously published sections, see the welcome page.
T.I.C.D. ticker: So far, we’ve covered 402 islands and 145 notable mainland areas in 32 sections, including this one.
Entering Krabi province…
Krabi has at least 172 islands, the most of all Thai provinces. Yes, it even has more than Phang Nga because many of the isles on the E side of Ao Phang Nga belong to Krabi, a province that also administers some islands set all the way down in the Southern Andaman closer to the Trang islands.
Krabi province comprises the entire E half of the Central Andaman, so we’ll be here for a good four or five sections. This one looks at two island groups that sit roughly in the middle of this busy coastal zone.
