Koh Kood is Thailand’s best-kept secret!🏝️ It’s the island with the clearest waters I’ve seen in Thailand.
Although Koh Kood is easily accessible from Bangkok, it remains untouched by mass tourism.
Here you’ll find the raw beauty, powdery white-sand beaches, the clearest waters, corals, sandbanks, waterfalls, river, and mangrove forests.
Unlike some other Thai islands, Koh Kood is quite undeveloped- there’s no 7-Eleven but there’s Minimart, and no car rental service or songtaew (shared taxi).
It’s located south of the popular island Koh Chang, near the Cambodian maritime border.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲:
From Bangkok, the journey takes approximately 6 hours and 45 minutes (bus + ferry) and a one-way ticket costs only 1100 tbh, or $31.
You can book your ticket on the 12Go Asia website or directly with the ferry company Boonsiri.
I arrived here from Koh Mak, which is only a 30-minute ferry ride away.
𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁:
November to February is the peak season, so the weather is perfect.
𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
There’s no car rental service here, so most people rent a scooter. You can rent one for about 250tbh ($7) per day.
There are no regular taxis on the island, but you can book one through your resort (it can be expensive).
𝗦𝗜𝗠 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱:
Make sure to get an AIS SIM card, as it has the best coverage on the island. Other providers, like TrueMove, often don’t have reliable service on the island.
