Koh Kood
Koh Kood
Koh Kood, meaning Lime Island is the most easterly island of Thailand about 80km from the Thai mainland. It shares a maritime border with Cambodia and is part of Thailand's Trat Province. It is the fourth largest island in Thailand, after Phuket, Koh Chang and Koh Samui.
Geography
Koh Kood is a fairly mountainous island, with 70% of it being covered by tropical rainforest[1]. This leaves most settlement to be situated on the coast. Koh Kood also has several waterfalls, closed off to the public by the government during the monsoon.
Infrastructure
Koh Kood supports basic and essential infrastucture such as roads, a hospital, police station, power stations and a water and telephone network; but is still fairly isolated from the rest of Thailand.
Transport
Most transport around Koh Kood is done by motorcyle, due to their cost and narrowness of the roads. Transport to the island may be done by ferry or speedboat, often from Koh Mak, Koh Chang or the town of Trat on the mainland. [2]
Tourism
A large proportion of Koh Kood's income comes from tourism derived from several tourist resorts along the coast. Most of these are low-density style resorts, due to the comparitively low tourist numbers to other places in Thailand.
