What a stunning feature! Koh Kood (or Ko Kut) truly represents that rare, unspoiled tropical paradise everyone dreams of finding in Thailand. The white sand, the clear, turquoise water, and the lush, jungle interior—it’s pure magic. Thank you for showing this gorgeous, quieter side of Thai island life! 🏝️🥥
The Pristine Jewel of the Gulf: Where Jungle Meets Sea
Despite being the fourth largest island in Thailand, Koh Kood has miraculously avoided the mass development seen on places like Phuket or Koh Samui. Its reputation as a high-end, eco-focused destination has kept it pristine, attracting travelers who value natural beauty over nightlife. The search for clear water and quiet beaches inevitably leads people to its gorgeous coastlines, like Ao Taphao or the famed Bang Bao Bay.
But Koh Kood is more than just beaches! The island’s dense, protected interior offers unique adventure, from kayaking through the shady mangrove forests at the estuary to cooling off in the emerald pool of Khlong Chao Waterfall (a must-see!). Its commitment to remaining undeveloped is what preserves this natural harmony, making it a perfect spot for responsible, slow-paced tourism.

A Complex Past: The Closest Link to Cambodia
Geographically, Koh Kood holds a very special, and at times complex, position: it is Thailand’s easternmost island, located literally at the maritime doorstep of Cambodia. This proximity means the island is deeply intertwined with the history and geography of the Cambodian coast.
In the Khmer language, the island is often referred to as Koh Kuch (កោះកុត). Historically, this entire coastal region of Trat Province and the Gulf of Thailand has been a crossroads, seeing shifting political borders, serving as a key trading route during the Rattanakosin era, and, interestingly, acting as a refuge for pirates and smugglers due to its closeness to the border and undeveloped nature.
The deep historical and geographical link means that even today, the sovereignty of Koh Kood and its surrounding maritime territory remains a subject of official territorial dispute between Thailand and Cambodia, citing different historical maps (like the 1907 Franco-Siamese Treaty) and overlapping claims for resource-rich areas (potential oil and gas fields).
The Call for Cross-Border Harmony
Despite the political complexities, the island’s proximity to Cambodia offers huge potential for regional tourism development and cross-cultural understanding. For Moritour’s clients, combining the natural tranquility of Koh Kood with a trip across the border to the Cambodian coast (like Sihanoukville or the pristine islands of Koh Rong) is the ultimate Southeast Asian adventure.
This requires both nations to continue pursuing peaceful negotiations, such as the framework laid out in the 2001 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU-44) aimed at jointly developing maritime resources. Ultimately, shared prosperity through sustainable, peace-fostering tourism provides the strongest incentive for cross-border cooperation. As a key travel partner in the region, Moritour believes in facilitating travel that celebrates the shared culture, hospitality, and stunning natural beauty of both the Thai and Khmer peoples.
