Koh Kood
The idyllic island on the Gulf of Thailand, close to the border with Cambodia, is the ideal setting for travelers who want to avoid the tourist crowds, experience pure nature and get to know the original Thailand. The slightly hilly landscape is covered in rainforest, with around 2,000 inhabitants living in the fishing villages and the main town of Ban Ao Salad. Koh Kood can be reached in around an hour by speedboat from the mainland. The wonderful beaches and crystal-clear waters of the sea invite you to relax and enjoy a wide range of water sports.
