Koh Kood Island Trip Review

One fine day, I had the good fortune of winning a Gift Voucher for a free stay at Koh Kood Resort through a lucky draw organized by the "บันทึกคนขี้เที่ยว" Facebook page. This presented the perfect opportunity to finally visit Koh Kood, an island I had been longing to explore for years.

Having already visited all the other islands in Trat, Koh Kood was the last one on my list. Winning this prize felt like a stroke of serendipitous luck.

Without further ado, let's dive into the details of my recent trip to Koh Kood!

Travel Dates: June 27th - 29th

Transportation: We opted for a road trip from Bangkok to Trat and then to Koh Kood. While GPS navigation ensured a smooth journey, the weather presented a slight challenge. Being the rainy season, we anticipated some showers, and indeed, we encountered some light rain along the way.

Ferry: During the low season, ferry services to Koh Kood are limited to ferries only. We booked our tickets with Koh Kood Express through their website in advance. The ferry departs from Laem Sok Pier, and we reached there around noon after leaving Bangkok at 6:00 AM. The skies were overcast, and we experienced some light rain during the drive.

Accommodation: The Koh Kood Resort, where we were fortunate to stay thanks to the Gift Voucher, provided a comfortable and relaxing experience. The resort's amenities and services were top-notch, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Activities: Our itinerary included exploring the island's stunning beaches, indulging in delicious seafood, and immersing ourselves in the natural beauty of Koh Kood. We also visited the Klong Chao Waterfall, a hidden gem nestled amidst lush greenery.

Overall Impression: Koh Kood exceeded our expectations. The island's pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful atmosphere offered a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The warm hospitality of the locals and the abundance of activities made our trip truly memorable.

-- Since we were going to the island, we couldn't take our car with us. 555555555
At the Koh Kood Express company, there is a car park with a roof for a fee of 50 baht per day.
We arrived on the 27th-29th, and the staff member charged us 150 baht for 3 days.
Then we walked to the boat ticket counter and showed the booking code to the staff member.
We got the boat ticket for 700 baht (round trip).
And because it was the low season, when we arrived at Koh Kood Express, it was raining heavily. T_T
There is a restaurant at the waiting area, so we took the opportunity to have lunch.
**During the low season, Koh Kood Express's ferry operates twice a day.**
If you are driving or taking a bus from Bangkok, the time will be different, so be sure to check the boat schedule carefully.
For those who are driving, we think this is a good option, as there is parking available and the boat fare is reasonable. --

-- It's almost time to board the boat.
The rain has stopped, which is a relief. At least the weather is on our side. 5555555
About 10 minutes before the boat departs, there will be a shuttle service provided by Koh Kood Express to take us to Laem Sok Pier.
The ride to Laem Sok Pier takes no more than 10 minutes.
Then it rained again before we boarded the boat. T_T
The boat is divided into two zones: an outdoor zone for enjoying the sea breeze and an indoor zone with two floors of air conditioning.
We will be on the ferry for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The boat is quite shaky due to the high waves, rain, and wind.
If you get seasick, it is recommended to take medication beforehand. --

-- After sailing for 0.30 hours, I started to feel sleepy. Zzz
And then, 1 hour and 15 minutes passed...
When I woke up, the boat was approaching Ao Salad Pier on Koh Kood.
*Normally, guests of Koh Kood Resort must disembark at the Deep Sea Pier. However, due to the strong waves during the rainy season, we had to disembark at Ao Salad Pier.* --

-- After disembarking, a pickup truck will be waiting to pick you up.
A staff member will tell you which pickup truck to board, separated by the route to your accommodation.
Once you get in the car, let's go!
Our destination is Koh Kood Resort.
It takes quite a while to get to the resort by pickup truck because Ao Salad Pier is at the end of the island and our resort is in the middle of the island.
*For those who get seasick, be careful when getting in the car, as the road is quite winding. Be careful not to get carsick again, lol* --

-- We have arrived at Koh Kood Resort!
Walking inside, it feels very natural.
As it is the rainy season, everything is lush green and there is a light drizzle, which creates a nice atmosphere. 
Upon arriving at the resort's reception, tourists who arrived at the same time lined up to check in.
The resort also provided a welcome drink of chilled pineapple juice.
After checking in, we received the room key and a staff member led us to our room.
The room we got was a bungalow in Zone B5 (Garden View).
The resort's house zoning is arranged as follows: Sea View houses are in Zone A --

After we finished unpacking, we immediately went out to explore the sea area even though it was raining. 5555

At Koh Kood Resort, when you walk down, there will be The Deck Bar to serve you.

And when you walk further, it will be the sea!.

Normally, the selling point of this place is the wooden bridge that stretches out into the sea.

But due to the low season, rain, strong winds, and strong waves, the resort had to remove the bridge.

Because the bridge might be damaged by the waves and wind, but other activities are available as usual.

It depends on whether you dare to play or not. That's all. 5555

-- After exploring for a while, we couldn't stand the heavy rain anymore, so we retreated to take a shower and came out for dinner.
The food here is priced at a typical tourist rate, not too expensive.
So we ordered a lot, we are foodies after all. 5555 --

After a satisfying meal, I planned to take a leisurely stroll along the beach. However, the weather did not cooperate, forcing me to abandon my plans and retire for the night. Thus, day one came to a close.

-- Early morning on the 2nd,
I woke up to the sound of rain T T
As soon as I woke up, I was hungry. I went out to eat breakfast at the hotel, soaking wet.
The breakfast at Koh Kood Resort is very diverse.
Breakfast is a typical breakfast (bread, fried eggs, ham, sausages, milk, juice), rice porridge with minced pork, roti with side dishes (3-4 items).
There is also an egg station where you can order omelets and omelettes.
As a morning person, I was very happy 5555 --

-- After lunch, it rained all day and I couldn't do anything.
I took a nap...
I woke up at noon and the rain stopped!!!!
I rushed to the reception to rent a motorbike to drive around the island.
I got the motorbike and immediately drove to the tourist attractions.
On the way, I passed many other resorts.
And I found a bridge that crossed the river.
Yes! Across the river, this river comes from Klong Chao Waterfall, the water at the end will flow into the sea and become brackish.
So we drove the motorbike to "Klong Chao Waterfall".
On the way to Klong Chao Waterfall, the resorts in this area are riverside resorts.
Which is a different feel from the beachfront resorts, here is green, quiet.
Still water, perfect for kayaking and canoeing. --

-- We drove to Khlong Chao Waterfall.
There is a parking lot available, and we had to walk further inside for a while.
As we walked in, we saw a sign and a pavilion to rest.
We continued walking and finally reached the waterfall!
The water level was very high this time, and the sound of the waterfall was very loud. The first point we reached was the bottom of the waterfall.
The water level was high, and we couldn't get close enough --

We then tried to find a way to the top of the waterfall, but there were no signs indicating the path. We walked along the path for about 20 minutes, but we couldn't find the entrance. The path was becoming increasingly overgrown, so we decided to turn back. When we arrived at the parking lot, we met a man who was driving a pickup truck for hire. We took the opportunity to ask him about the way to the top of the waterfall. He told us that the entrance to the top of the waterfall was about a 5-minute walk away. It was a narrow path that could only accommodate one person at a time. (I must say that we saw this path, but it was so overgrown and looked like it hadn't been used in a long time that we walked past it.)

Leaving Khlong Chao Waterfall with a heavy heart, we drove around aimlessly. We came across a sign for the deep-sea port, so we decided to check it out. And true to its name, the waves were huge and powerful, and the water looked incredibly deep. If we fell in, I don't think we would survive! After walking around the deep-sea port, we decided to head back to our accommodation because it was about to rain (again). On our way back, we were lucky enough to spot a wild boar!

-- Upon returning to the resort, the weather started to cooperate.
So we went to take some casual photos on the beach. There were other tourists getting ready to go swimming.
We didn't hesitate to jump into the water and fight the big waves. It was both fun and tiring.
This is the origin of the post's title, which is that the rainy season at the sea is fun like this. --

After an exhausting day of physical activity, we showered and changed into fresh clothes, preparing for our evening meal. We were treated to a complimentary pizza, but couldn't resist ordering several additional dishes. Our excessive enthusiasm led to an abundance of food, leaving us unable to finish it all.

-- The next morning, we woke up and took some group photos.
It had been raining since morning, so we didn't have a chance to take any morning photos.
We also had breakfast, which was the last meal of the trip.
So we went all out. 555555
After that, a car came to pick us up. It was a 2-row car, just like the one we came in. --

After a short car ride, we arrived at the pier. I felt a pang of sadness knowing it was time to leave. After boarding the boat, we opted to sit outside, as our previous experience sitting inside wasn't pleasant. We ended up getting seasick. However, sitting outside wasn't exactly safe either. While we were in the middle of the sea, it started raining and the waves were strong. Every chair got soaked by the rain. Everyone had to stand together. It's a shame we didn't capture it on camera, as we were just trying to stay afloat.

Thanks to

"บันทึกคนขี้เที่ยว" Page #Vol10 and Koh Kood Resort for this fun trip.

You took great care of us. I promise to come back in a smaller wave next time. 5555

Thank you to my travel companions. Without you, this trip wouldn't have been possible.
