Koh Kut

Ko Kut (also Koh Kood) is an island in Trat in the Gulf of Thailand and the easternmost island before Cambodia. The island is a popular spot for package tourists and families. The island has virtually no night life, so if you are after partying this is definitly not the place to go.
How to get there:
There are two ways to get to Koh Kood from Koh Chang's Bang Bao harbour. Either the slower Inter Island Hopper, which takes 3-4 hours, or by speedboat. The price by speedboat is 900 baht (as of Jan/Feb 2008) one way, which includes a pick up or drop off at your hotel on Koh Chang. The trip takes about 1-2 hours, depending on conditions and how many stops the boat has to make at the islands between Koh Chang and Koh Kood (Koh Mak, Koh Wai, etc.) and how many resorts on Koh Kood the boat stops at before it gets to yours.

Two boats depart daily during the high season from Laem Sok on the mainland near Trat. Stops are made on demand at most west coast piers on Koh Kood, finally terminating at Koh Kood's Bang Bao Bay. First boat departs from Laem Sok at 9am, costs 400 baht one-way, and takes 2 hours 15 minutes to Koh Kood. Second boat departs at 1pm, costs 550 baht one-way, and takes one and a half hours to Koh Kood. Two boats depart from Koh Kood daily at 11am and 4pm, returning to the mainland.
Get around
Getting around can be a bit of a hassle since taxis are not available. The best way to get around is by motorbike (expect to pay around 300 Bath per day) which can be rented at almost all resorts. Road conditions vary between dirt roads and pathed roads. Maps are available though a bit confusing. Bang Bao Boat has a speedboat and one or two competitors.

See

  • The west coast has some breath-taking beaches. Most resort gather there.
  • Nam Tok Khlong Chao - a nice waterfall
  • Ao Salat is a fishing village in the north of the island. It can reached by motorbike.


Do

Not much, really. Except swimming in the crystal clear waters, sunbathing, scuba-diving, snorkeling or reading a book. There are virtually no roads or cities on Ko Kut so sightseeing is pretty limited. The fishing village of Ao Salat (on the North East of the island) is home to around 300 people, making it the largest settlement on the island. The village is built on stilts in the water, and is quite interesting and well worth the gruelling road trip to get there. Expect to pay around 500 baht for the trip as cars are quite scarce. Or rent a scooter to get around.
