The park contains also over 80 lesser islands and the two Phi Phi Islands, that besides the first class diving truly come near to the ideal of the perfect tropical island.
Two noteworthy islands, Koh Poda and Koh Gai, can be reached within half an hour by longtail boat from Ao Phra Nang Bay. Koh Poda is fringed by clear waters, and offers chalet accommodation nestling amid palm trees, with beachside bar and restaurant facilities. Koh Gai, twenty minutes to the west, has excellent waters for snorkeling and diving.
