Only 7 hours away from Bangkok, this quiet island of Thailand is your perfect destination if you are looking for a few days of lazyness and peace. This small island of Thailand is the perfect place for those who want to be away from the crowds of Phuket or Krabi. ¿Wanna go? ¡Here I explain how!

¿Where is Koh Kood? South of Thailand, here you can find a map .

The easiest way to get there is bus and boat.

You will have to take the bus in Ekkamai Bus Station in Bangkok (click here to see the map). It’s really easy to get to the station as well, so don’t worries! Considering that you would take de 6AM bus, the easiest and cheaper way to get to the station is taking a taxi.

Once there, you will have to buy a bus ticket (450 Bahts go and back) to Trat. From there, a boat will take you to Koh Kood.

The boat tickets can be bought in the bus station of Trat, and they include the taxi from the bus station to the pier, and from the Koh Kood’s pier to your selected hotel. All for 700 Bahts.

What to do and see

Activities are really related to chill in the beach and take sun baths all day long.

Most of the beaches are located in the Western coast of the island. A few rivers can be found and waterfalls as well.

Great swim!

You can also rent a kayak in the beaches and rivers.

Beaches of Koh Kood

This is a small island, but the beaches you will find here are really awesome. Here are the ones I liked most:

– Beach right beside Taphan Cape, just in front of “Neverland Resort”

– Takhian Beach

– Ao Phrao Beach

Finding them will be easy: all hotels and resorts will give a good map to discover the island.

Motorbike rent

I met a couple that told me that sleeping in Relax Guest House, the motorbike is included in the room’s price (good deal!). I stayed in Eve House, there the bikes are rented for 250 Bahts per day.
