Ko Kood - Trat

Far quieter and less developed than neighboring Koh Chang, Ko Kood is a pristine island ideal for a relaxing beach holiday.

Just south of Koh Chang, its more popular neighboring island, Ko Kood is far less developed and consequently more idyllic. A rather flat island covered almost entirely with native forest or coconut and rubber plantations, Ko Kood has a number of pristine beaches with crystal clear water. Ko Kood is located near the Cambodian border and consequently has an ethnically mixed population of roughly 2,000 residents that is slowly transitioning from an exclusive plantation and fishing economy to an incipient tourism oriented one. Development of accommodation on Ko Kood has focused on attracting a middle and upper class Thai clientele that is drawn by the island’s beauty and tranquility. Both 4-5 hour slow boats and one hour speedboats from Laem Ngob and Dan Kao Piers in Trat Province provide service to the island though nicer resorts have their own boat service.

Despite being the fourth largest island in Thailand, Ko Kood has managed to remain an unspoiled slice of tropical heaven. Located in Trat Province, Ko Kood is the southernmost of the Koh Chang island chain. With gorgeous beaches and little other infrastructure it’s a resort destination that caters to those looking for a quiet beach paradise, with soft sand, crystal clear water, and little else. Relaxing is the predominate activity on this island, whose unspoiled nature and leisurely local lifestyle are the prime attractions. Snorkeling or exploring the islands beaches and forests are activities for the more adventurous, although boat trips to nearby islands for sightseeing, snorkeling, and scuba diving are also options. A small fishing village, located at Ao Salat on the Northeast of the island, provides an opportunity to experience island culture.

With gorgeous, unspoiled beaches surrounded by crystal clear waters Koh Kood itself is the attraction and visitors who are planning to do more than simply relax may enjoy exploring the islands beaches, nearby islands, or a charming fishing village.
