Things to do in Koh Kood

The beach has very clear water (but there are some pieces of plastic). The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. You can lie down and watch the sea all day.

Khlong Chao Waterfall is a medium-sized waterfall with a total height of 10 meters and 3 levels. The lower level has a large pool that is quite clear and clean, perfect for playing in the water to cool off. The top level is a rock stream with water flowing down, creating a beautiful view.

Another beautiful waterfall on Koh Kood, which may be even more beautiful than Khlong Chao Waterfall. The walk to the waterfall is a downward walk. It is quite difficult and tiring to walk back up, but it is worth it. There are fewer people than Khlong Chao Waterfall.

This is a freshwater waterfall on Gu Island. The waterfall is deep in the forest and the amount of water is not particularly large, but it is a wonder to have such a natural freshwater waterfall in the sea. The area where the waterfall flows through is a wide stream, where everyone can play in the water and fish, full of wild fun.

Forced to join a group, place is very crowded. Details are very nice to see. Be aware if you purchase an online ticket you need to book it at least 1h in advance. And no bagpacks allowed, not even water which I find critical in warm weather conditions

Siam Old City 🏯 is definitely a hidden gem of a cultural and historical site near Bangkok, well worth a special trip! The entire area is enormous 🌳, with expansive views and lush greenery. It perfectly replicates classic Thai architecture, royal palaces, distinctive temples, and historical sites from ancient times to the present, condensing iconic landmarks from all over Thailand into one place. The architectural craftsmanship is exquisite and the retro atmosphere is simply divine 📸! Every corner is a photo opportunity, perfect for stunning shots. I highly recommend renting a golf cart and driving yourself 🚙! The area is huge, and walking the entire way is simply impractical, tiring, and time-consuming, especially during holidays when it's incredibly crowded and the experience is terrible. Hiring a car is incredibly comfortable, flexible, and allows you to stop and take photos at your favorite spots without rushing, maximizing your comfort! I highly recommend setting aside half a day to a full day to leisurely explore ✨! We rented a car throughout, taking our time to explore and take photos at each attraction, enjoying a relaxed pace. The total visit lasted exactly four hours, resulting in a truly perfect experience. The park focuses on ancient architecture and cultural exploration, offering an immersive experience of Thailand's diverse architectural styles and rich history. It's especially suitable for tourists who enjoy photography, appreciate cultural landscapes, and want a deeper understanding of Thai culture. The park is tranquil and soothing, with stunning scenery. The only minor drawback is the limited number of interactive rides, making it more suitable for leisurely sightseeing than those seeking thrills. The park boasts excellent facilities, a clean and tidy environment, and attentive staff service. For those who don't have time to visit all the historical sites in Thailand, this is an incredibly cost-effective way to see all the classic sights in one trip. Overall, it offers exceptional value and is definitely worth including in your Bangkok itinerary!

The giant Makha tree, over a hundred years old, must come and see when visiting Koh Kood.

The Four Regions Floating Market is very characteristic of Thailand, with shops lining both sides of the waterways, and you can take a boat tour. We brought our elders here, and they leisurely enjoyed the water town atmosphere. The food and souvenirs were plentiful, making for a very pleasant experience.

The Thai government has done a good job in protecting the natural environment. This island and the neighboring islands form the Ko Rang Marine National Park. The coral reefs of Ko Yak Lek are very beautiful. However, the disadvantage of this water area is that it is more than 3 meters deep, so it is not the best place for diving. Ko Tao and Ko Lipe are better. There are also many tourists who come here to swim (most of them wear life jackets for snorkeling), and the big fish are mostly hidden in the coral reefs. Only some smaller fish can be found, but there are few species. In fact, if you come in May, you can also go to Ko Mak and Ko Kuud. However, Ko Rang will also be closed from June to October. Early to mid-May is the best time because the low season just begins.
