Description: Passeio de barco na ilha da Galinha, em Krabi Ao Nang, Tailandia. A imagem nao ta boa, filmei com uma camera tosca heheheA província de Krabi é seguramente a mais bonita do reino da Tailândia e pode-se gabar de ter as melhores praias, praias de sonho, e uma maravilhosa paisagem de pedra calcária. Como vos dirá qualquer pessoa que já lá esteve, não há palavras para descrever este sítio, as fotografias raras vezes lhe fazem justiça; assim o melhor é visitar a província pessoalmente.A cidade de Krabi é uma pequena comunidade de pescadores, mas poderão apanhar o ferry até às ilhas de Ko Lanta, Ko Phoi e às praias nos arredores de Ao Nang. Durante muitos anos Krabi tem sido o paraíso dos que trazem o "saco de campista", mas nos últimos anos fez-se mais acolhedora também para aqueles que procuram mais conforto.This is an island called "Koh Kai". The name means "Chicken island". The name is because of a rock formation that looks like a chickens head.Located just 8 kilometres offshore, (around 25 minutes by boat) from Ao Nang, Koh Poda is a small island no more than a kilometre in diameter, covered in palm trees and almost entirely encircled by a soft white sand beach.A coral reef lies about 20 metres from the beach with a variety of sea life. The irresistible combination of excellent snorkeling, scenery and soft sand make the island a popular choice with snorkelers and day trippers, but surprisingly, it's not crowded.Koh Poda can be visited all year round. (Not affected by the monsoon - May - October)Chicken Island (Koh Gai/Kai or Hua Khwan)Krabi, Chicken IslandNamed after the strange rock formation which looks like the head and neck of an ostrich, chicken or similar member of the fowl family. One end of the island consists of steep cliffs, while the other end has beautiful beaches along a peninsula. At high tide, this peninsula gets flooded, creating a small island. There is no accommodation on Hua Khwan island. Excellent snorkeling opportunities in warm and clear water, rich in coral life.Koh Gai can be visited all year round. (Not affected by the monsoon - May - October)Krabi, This coastal province covers an area of 4,709 square kilometers and is located 814 kilometres south of Bangkok. Krabis major attractions are located largely along its extensive coastline, which contains several well-known beaches and bays, and numerous offshore tropical islands.History of Krabi From archaeological discoveries, it is believed that Krabi was one of the oldest communities in Thailand dating from the prehistoric period. It is also believed that Krabi was once the town of Ban Thai Samo, one of 12 royal cities that used a monkey as the town symbol. Krabi was a dependency town of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Kingdom. Another legend indicates that the town may have taken its name after the meaning of Krabi, which means sword. This may have stemmed from a legend that says an ancient sword was unearthed prior to the citys founding. Later, the sword became a symbol of Krabi.Geography of Krabi Krabi's mountainous physical geography is broken by highlands and plains on the mainland; the provincial administration also covers more than 130 large and small islands in the Andaman Sea. Natural forest cover is chiefly mangrove and Cassia trees. Krabi's sandy clay soil conditions are perfect for a variety of agricultural produces, including: rubber trees, palms, oranges, coconuts, and coffee. The Krabi River flows 5 kilometres through the town and falls into the Andaman Sea at Tambon Pak Nam.Krabi is administratively divided into 8 Amphoes (districts): Amphoe Muang, Khao Phanom, Khlong Thom, Plai Phraya, Ko Lanta, Ao Luek, Lam Thap, and Nuea Khlong.Travel around KrabiTo getting around the town is very convenient by local taxi (Tuk Tuk).
