Arrival to Koh Kood
During high-season there are dailyboats from Baan Bang Bao in the south of Ko Chang to Ko Mak. As the departure times change quite often, it is best if you check it out when you are on Ko Chang (tickets are available in almost all travel agencies on Ko Chang). From there a speedboat leaves at about 11.45 am to Ko Kood, the journey takes about 30 minutes. The boats to Ko Mak only leave if there are enough passengers, so it may happen that some trips are cancelled!
In low-season between May and November there are no regular boat connections.

During high-season there are also boats from Trat (Laem Sok Pier) and Laem Ngop to Ko Kood, but because they only leave irregularly, better ask in the travel agencies, the taxi-stops or at the piers.
(October 2007. All information refer to high-season between November and May. Occasionally, due to high waves, the boats are even unable to leave at this time of the year.
Depending on the weather conditions, boats often can't leave to Ko Kood in low-season between May/June and October/November.)

Infrastructure on Koh Kood
The island is rather flat compared to Koh Chang. The highest mountain, the Khao Phaenth measures 315 metres. It residents a good amount of wonderful beaches with crystal clear water (Ta Pho Beach, Khlong Chao Beach, Thakian Beach, Phrao Beach etc.). Inside the island it is very wild and a lot of coconut- and rubber-tree-plantations are located in the plains.

Population on Koh Kood
Most of the island inhabitants live off the cultivation of coconut, rubber production or fishing. But meanwhile the expanding tourism industry gives more and more work to the still less than 2000 inhabitants.

Travelling-Time for Koh Kood
The best time for a visit on Koh Kood is between beginning of November and end of February. At this time it is relatively cool, dry and mostly sunny. But until end of May, when it’s hotter as during winter, a visit is still convenient. Even during monsoon Koh Kood is worth a journey for it doesn’t rain every day and all day long.

Activities on Koh Kood
Beside being lazy on the beach, snorkelling at on of the beautiful coral reefs or just watching stars at night, one can visit the islands Koh Kra, Koh Maisi Lek or Kh Raet.
Kho Kra is meant to be one of the most beautiful diving grounds in the Gulf of Thailand.

Some of the more expensive Resorts on Koh Kood offer Banana-, Donut-boat-trips and water-skiing. In addition you can do drop line fishing at the beaches and bays or rent a boat over night (about 3000 Baht) to try your luck during night time.

Sights on Koh Kood
The village Aow Salad (Baan Aow Salad) in the Salad Bay (Aow Salad) is located in the northeast part of the island. It is the biggest fishing-village on Koh Kood where you can buy fresh seafood every day.

The marvellous waterfall Nam Tok Khlong Chao or Than Sanuk Waterfall, which was visited by King Rama VI in 1911, is one of the most beautiful spots to be found on Koh Kood. It consists of 3 tiers: the upper two are running streams and the lower one is a large pond - an ideal place for swimming.

Accommodation is available on Koh Kood.
