Tup Island and Chicken Island are two of Krabi’s most visited and photogenic destinations,
part of the Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park. These islands are known
for their unique natural sandbar that connects them during low tide, allowing visitors to
walk between the two islands. With turquoise water, soft white sand, and colorful coral
reefs, this area is perfect for snorkeling, swimming, and island-hopping adventures.
