2nd day of our trip was all about 4 island hopping and a nice sunset dinner next to a beach.
The first island we visited was Tup Island. The main feature of this island is its wand bar, which is a Y-shaped stretch of sand that connects Tup to other islands. Basically, we can walk to another island thru the sea.

Next island is the Chicken Island or Koh Gai. It is named after the strange rock formation which looks like the head and neck of a chicken. We stopped there for snorkeling and later on we headed straight to Koh Poda.
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. Surprisingly, this island was visited by the Tsunami in the year 2004.

Next we had our lunch at the island. I was reluctant to try their specialty which is the Sticky Rice at the Night Market but after trying it during the lunch, it was delicious!

Next we're headed to Railay Beach. This area doesn't have any roads, bus or cars. Only footpaths and can be accessed by longtail boats.

Before we head back to our hotel, we went to Aonang town and bought few items back. Alcohol is very cheap!
