# 2 days in Krabi: an itinerary day by day > Two days in Krabi: the mainland and the islands. Day one: Ao Nang beach, the Railay peninsula and Phra Nang Beach with its shrine cave. Day two: the islands 7–8 km off Ao Nang — Koh Poda with its white beach facing a needle rock, and Koh Tup and Chicken Island, joined at low tide by the Talay Waek sandbar. This is the core of the '4 islands' tour, but you can do it by longtail on your own. Check the tide times. Web page: https://yesgo.io/thailand/krabi/in-2-days ## Day 1 1.

Day two is the islands off Ao Nang beach: about 20 minutes by longtail to Poda, 20–30 minutes to Tup and Chicken. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate. ## Island fees and tides The islands charge a national park fee of about 400 baht for foreigners and 200 for children, in cash. A longtail to Poda is about 300 baht return. The Talay Waek sandbar appears only at low tide — check a tide table the day before. ## 4-islands tour or your own longtail? The 4-islands tour usually covers Poda, Tup, Chicken and Phra Nang in one day, with lunch and snorkel gear, but on the group's schedule. Your own longtail from Ao Nang costs more per person, but you choose where to linger and can time the sandbar for low tide. Poda is quietest early in the morning. ## Is 2 days in Krabi enough? For the beaches and nearby islands, yes. A third day could take in [Tiger Cave Temple](https://yesgo.io/thailand/krabi/tiger-cave-temple), the hidden lagoon of [Hong Island](https://yesgo.io/thailand/krabi/krabi-hong-island) or a swim at the [Emerald Pool](https://yesgo.io/thailand/krabi/krabi-emerald-pool). ## Tips - Park fees are cash, about 400 baht. - Check the tide table the night before: the sandbar shows only at low tide. - Bring your own mask and snorkel or hire them in Ao Nang. - Thailand uses the baht (THB). Temples, markets, longtails and songthaews want cash; Grab and Bolt are the easiest taxis. - Use reef-safe sunscreen. ## Questions ### What to do with 2 days in Krabi?
