Koh Kood is the fourth largest island of Thailand and the second largest in
the area behind Koh Chang. It is the closest island to the Cambodian border
in Trat province, approximately 330 km southeast from Bangkok.
The interior of Koh Kood is very wild and
jungle-like with scores of coconut and rubber tree plantations located in
the plains.
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.
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.
