Koh Kood

If you’re looking to really get away from civilisations or just to tell your boss that you can’t be reached, this is the place to do it. With limited infrastructure, meaning minimal cell reception and Internet, spotty electricity, no landlines and no banks or ATMs, this island is definitely not on the map for many tourists. Though the amenities are not all there, this is a great place to relax and settle in with a book or to explore nature by kayaking up the river estuary.
As a town where the palm trees outnumber the buildings, and likely even the population of 2000 people, there is not a lot of tours to take or restaurants to eat in. Koh Kood is the best island for getting into nature and away from modern life. As the easternmost island before Cambodia, prepare yourself for virtually no nightlife and fantastic beaches that you’ll have practically to yourself and won’t have to share with other tourists. If you’re looking to shop while visiting South East Asia, you’ll be hard pressed to find much outside of your resort on Koh Kood and the one souvenir shop in Ao Salat. Be sure to enjoy the beautiful scenery and to swim in the pools fed by waterfalls.
