Koh Kood: Thailand Off the Beaten Track
Thailand is known around the world as a tropical paradise, and an incredible and amazing holiday destination with sensational weather, delicious food and a laid-back atmosphere which is truly intoxicating for most visitors. However, over-tourism has negatively affected some of the more popular destinations such as Phuket and Pattaya, which means that more and more travellers are now looking for something a bit more “authentic” for their Thai holiday, which is where Koh Kood comes in.
If you’re willing to make the effort to get away from the usual tourist haunts in Thailand, you will be pleasantly surprised to find beautiful scenery, friendly locals and authentic, sensational local cuisine which has not been adapted for tourists’ tastebuds. Koh Kood is the picture-postcard paradise island with untouched jungles, beaches and spectacular scenery, and will amaze you at every turn. The island is on Thailand’s eastern seaboard, very close to Cambodia, and as such is about 4 hours’ drive from the chaotic capital of Bangkok, but well worth the effort to seek out, you won’t regret it.
For anyone looking to get some relaxing downtime on one of the most beautiful islands the planet has to offer (without spending a fortune), Koh Kood should be at the top of their list. If the thought of sipping an expertly prepared cocktail with jungle-clad mountain peaks in the background, and white sand beaches with crystal clear warm waters at your feet sounds enticing, this could well be your dream holiday destination. There’s not much to do in Koh Kood except relax, nightlife is non-existent, but for the kind of people which the island attracts, this is exactly what they come here for.
Koh Kood is an undeveloped, tiny Thai island which you will never forget, offering the luxury of a private Caribbean getaway without the hefty price tag.
