About The Port Of Ko Kood
Tucked near the Cambodian border in Trat province, Ko Kood is one of Thailand's least developed large islands, its coastline framed by clear turquoise shallows and dense tropical forest. Small fishing communities and a scattering of low-key resorts share the island with mangrove channels and freshwater waterfalls that tumble through the interior, making it a favorite for travelers seeking a slower, undeveloped alternative to Thailand's busier coasts.
Because Ko Kood lacks a deep-water harbor, ships anchor offshore and passengers arrive by tender, landing near beaches rather than a built-up port town. Days here favor swimming, kayaking, and short walks to jungle waterfalls over sightseeing itineraries. With no major towns or historic sites to visit, the appeal lies almost entirely in the natural setting itself, an easy, restorative counterpoint to more urban stops along a regional itinerary.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Ko Kood.
Hike to Klong Chao Waterfall
A short, easy trail through jungle leads to a two-tiered cascade with a swimmable pool at its base. Wear water shoes and allow about an hour round trip from the beach landing.
Paddle the Mangrove Channels
Kayak through quiet, shaded waterways lined with dense mangrove roots and glimpses of local fishing life. Calm water makes this suitable for beginners and a cool break from the sun.
Swim the Turquoise Shallows
Wade or snorkel just off the tender landing beach, where shallow, clear water stretches out over soft sand. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, as facilities on shore are minimal.
