Koh Kood
Far quieter and less developed than
neighboring Koh Chang, Koh Kood is a pristine island ideal for a relaxing beach
holiday.
Just south of Koh Chang, its more
popular neighboring island, Koh Kood is far less developed and consequently
more idyllic. A rather flat island covered almost entirely with native forest
or coconut and rubber plantations, Koh Kood has a number of pristine beaches
with crystal clear water. Koh 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 Koh 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, Koh Kood has managed to remain an unspoiled slice of tropical heaven.
Located in Trat Province, Koh 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. I wish you enjoy traveling to
Yala. By Wander TV.
