Travel guide to visit Koh Kood
Close to the large island of Koh Chang in Trat Province, Koh Kood is still preserved from mass tourism. Here, you will find yourself in a almost untouched nature, with a few resorts and some shops and restaurants. There's no jet ski or other water sports, no elephant rides on Koh Kood. But you can go diving or snorkeling. There are some diving agencies on the island.For sightseeing, Koh Kood has two waterfalls, two large banyan trees nestled in the deep forest and a huge structure with Buddha with viewpoint tower and plenty of undisturbed beaches to discover.

Accommodations in Koh Kood
The offer of hotels in Koh Kood perfectly reflects the peaceful atmosphere of the island, with a majority of small resorts by the sea, bungalows nestled in the vegetation and a few more luxurious hotels for those looking for high-end comfort. Here, no large complexes or lively nightlife, but rather accommodation on a human scale, often in harmony with the surrounding nature. The main beaches, such as Ao Tapao, Bang Bao and Ao Phrao, group together most of the resorts, offering direct access to the sea and breathtaking views of the sunset. Some establishments, more isolated, offer a more intimate experience. There are a few affordable guesthouses and bungalows on the island, good but Koh Kood remains a slightly more upscale destination than its neighbors. In high season, it is recommended to book in advance.

How to go to Koh Kood ?
Koh Kood island is close to Koh Chang so to get there, you will have to follow the same path: go to Trat by bus or plane and then take the ferry at Laem Ngop and then a boat from Koh Chang to Koh Kood. Or you have once a day a ferry from Laem Sok Pier to koh Kood.How to get around in Koh Kood ?
Getting around is one of the difficulties of Koh Kood because the island is big and there is no public transport system that runs on it permanently like in Koh Chang for example. On foot the distances are long. Renting a scooter is the ideal solution but again be careful, to be legal on a scooter in Thailand, you need a motorcycle license in your country of origin and an international license and driving a scooter, especially in Thailand, is often in the exclusions of travel insurance contracts.
Weather & climate in
Koh Kood has a tropical monsoon climate with little variation in temperature throughout the year. Precipitation, on the other hand, varies considerably from season to season. Initially infrequent during the short dry season (December to January), they become rapidly torrential during the monsoon (from May to the end of October). February, March and November are months of transition during which, depending on the year, it can rain more or less.The best time to come to Koh Kood is from December to March, with the driest months being December, January and February. From May to the end of October, it is better to choose another destination.
