How do you get to a code line?

In order to get to the pastoral island, you will need to board a ferry or motorboat from the Laem Sok pier and sail for a period of time that lasts about forty minutes to an hour and a half (depending on the means of transportation you choose). Although it is a relatively long cruise compared to the other islands in the area, the beautiful beaches and activities that await you and your family members on the island will make the effort worthwhile.

Unlike other islands that are best known for their lively nightlife scene, visiting Koh Kood will allow you to experience Thailand in a completely different way, to glimpse traditional and authentic Thailand in all its shades, to be impressed by the local population living in the small villages embedded in it like unpolished gems and also to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the pristine beaches located along it.

The atmosphere in Koh Kood, which is close to Thailand's border with Cambodia, is more relaxed and full of charm, thanks in part to the fact that the island has not yet become commercialized and touristed like its neighbors and most of its tourism is concentrated in the beach area, where the guest houses and the main attractions intended for visitors are also located. among these, Khlong Chao Beach It is the most central beach, but as we said - in Thailand, everything is relative, and even the most visited beach contains only dozens of people at the height of the tourist season.

There are several diving clubs where you can rent suitable equipment and also rent a motor boat that will take you to recommended diving spots further from the coastline.

For those interested, you can also take a professional diving course there, although this is not the cheapest place to do it in Thailand (and again, everything is relative so the differences are negligible compared to a similar course in Israel).

Hiking trails in Ko Kod

Fishing villages in Ko Kod
