TURQUOISE & AQUAMARINE WATER

Miracle Bay,

Miracle Bay,

Located offshore at Ao Nang Beach are a few islands with beautiful white coral sandy beaches and crystal clear water. Koh Poda, Koh Tub and the famous Koh Kai are the closest ones and can be easily reached by long tail boat or speed boat. Memorable Pranang Cave is shrouded in mythology and mystery. It’s beautiful white sandy beach is quite a popular spot with sunlovers. The stalactites and stalagmites are one out-standing feature
The four islands are 1) Phranang Cave Beach — spiritual tour & swimming, 2)  Chicken Island — for sightseeing, 3) Tup Island — for snorkelling and exploring, 4) Poda Island — a place to relax, swimming & picnic site. Chicken island got its name from a bizarre rock formation which resembles the head of a chicken. One end of the island consists of steep cliffs, while the other end has beautiful beaches along a peninsula. This peninsula gets flooded at high tide, creating a small island. An excellent snorkelling opportunity with it’s rich coral life. At Tup Island if tide permits you will be able to walk along a white and sandy causeway joining the neighbouring island, This admirable scenery is highly popular for photography, exploring, sunbathing and swimming providing memorable highlights for a visit.

Been here and what blogger discovered & experienced :-

” Today, we island hopped by long boat. It’s a lttle bit slower than speedboat but all the islands are close together and the sea was calm. Our day began from Ao Nang beach… By the time we arrived at Poda the sun was already high and it was only 9.30am – perfect for a little snooze, I mean sunbathe… This island also has monkeys but they hadn’t come down from the mountains and anyways they’re also really wild and pretty nasty, apparently. Chicken island, as it’s name suggests is not full of chickens, but in the shape of one! It’s got a head & beak formed by the cliffs, a body and wing shaped by the mountains. We stopped in the sea for snorkeling (at which point I shredded my hands on the oysters when I tried to grab a rock as a wave went over my head, slipped & twisted my toe climbing back up the ladder onto the boat and fell and banged my knee – all the bad karma catching up with me for being grumpy at breakfast). We also went to the beach on Chicken island but walked across the sea from the next island, let me explain… Tup island was actually two little islands connected together by a gorgeous little beach which forms when the tide goes out. It was like being back in the Maldives. The sea is light blue and clear and the colourful schools of fish swim circles around you in their large numbers. You can also walk on water!! You can walk across the sea from Tup Island to Chicken Island. Under the sea, a natural sand bank has formed with coral walls each side allowing you to walk across the sea between the two island. The final stop before heading back. The Pranang caves are on the same coastline as Raleigh beach. Our tour guide took us through the caves – what he didn’t tell us was that it was pitch black in the middle and you litterally have to crawl under some tiny openings to get back out. Thank god for the good old iPhone flashlight!! Visions of a few bumped heads, with nobody telling you where you can walk & where you have to crawl, they didn’t provide torches so you either have to feel your way or be lucky enough to already be carrying a light source. We made it through safe and sound. A bumped head trapped in a cave would have just been my luck and a great way to end a day full of cuts & bruises! “
