Krabi Best Places

Koh Tup and Koh Mor in Krabi

Koh Tap (also spelled Koh Tup, Koh Tub or Koh Thap) and Koh Mor are two tiny islands that belong to the Mu Koh Poda group in Krabi. Located approximately nine kilometers from Ao Nang, it takes about 30 minutes to reach them by long-tail boat. The waters are almost crystal blue, which offers great photo-taking opportunities as well as snorkeling.

The two islands are located so close to each other, you can actually swim across if you don’t fancy walking. You can also hike to Koh Tup’s summit where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the islands located around the area.

How to get there: Hire a long-tail boat in Ao Nang (at the booth toward the southern part of the beach) or Nopparat Thara (at the fishing pier toward the northern end of the beach) or join an island-hopping speedboat trip.
