Koh Kood เกาะกูด

Overview

Koh Kood is smaller and quieter than Chang. Boats leave Laem Sok, not Center Point. Read the operator: Boonsiri and Ko Kut Express use their own berths. A 2026 seat is often 600 to 700 THB and 1 to 1.5 hours. Last boats leave mid-afternoon. Miss one and you sleep on the mainland.

Klong Chao is the village, the waterfall, and most dinner rooms. Ao Tapao and the south coves need a booked taxi at 300 to 700 THB. Soneva Kiri books the transfer with the room. Do not treat Kood as a Chang day trip.

Bays

• Klong Chao: Sleep here if you want to walk to food.
• Booked cove: Use it when the resort transfer is already on the voucher.
• Bang Bao: A south day if you already have a car on the island.

Getting around

Roads are fewer than Chang. Songthaews are not a Bangkok-density service. Agree the fare. A rented scooter after a late boat is how people start the week at a clinic.

Common questions

Can you day-trip Kood from Chang?

No. Different piers, different operators, and a 1 to 1.5 hour crossing. Book Kood as its own stay.

Where should you sleep?

Klong Chao if you want dinner without a taxi. A named hideaway if the transfer is already on the voucher.
