I read an article about two years ago in The Nation about it. Very low key undeveloped, non touristic place.. I thought I read it as "Koh Hood" but after research came to find a place with that name doesn't exist. does anyone have any first hand experience or heard through others about this place? I know it is in Changwat Trat but other than that have no idea about it

Moved to travel forum.

Why don't you do a search on Google, for sure there are some maps there, at least you can clear the geographical aspect.

I live in Koh Chang, but i've never been there; but from what i' m hearing it seems i would recommend it.

Must be like Koh Chang some 10/12 years ago.

To visit in the rainy season could be a blessing, or a total wet disappointment if not lucky.

PS just adding, the correct and most common spelling is " Koh Kood " , but sometimes you see K. Kut or K. Kud.

Is it a sexually transmitted disease ?

Google koh kood or koh kut plenty of info there.

Low key, undeveloped but changing fast, as all such places do in the end.

There are quite a few resorts and guesthouses on the island, though it is not fully developed as major tourist destinations in Thailand.

Not much of a nightlife outside them, which depending on one's taste is either torture or blessing.

Not all resorts have proper beach front, or a private beach front - despite sometimes advertised as such.

Most traffic (if you feel the urge to explore, there are some nice spots) is by motorcycle, bicycle or old-fashioned walking. Some places rent kayaks and other boats, no scams involved. Fishing, diving, snorkeling trips as well (never bothered to take one, though, so can't comment). Can get there either by ferry or speed boat (maybe easier for resorts with private piers).

Smaller resorts may be temporarily shut down on off season/rainy season.

Seems it has already developed quite a bit.

Smaller resorts may be temporarily shut down on off season/rainy season.

And nearby Trat is the place in Thailand with the highest yearly precipitation. An unbelievable 5000 mm or so. 1000 mm in August.
