Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
White sand beaches with gorgeous aquamarine water are strewn along the western side of
the island. Hat Khlong Chao is the island's best and could easily compete with Samui's Hat
Chaweng in a beach beauty contest. Ao Noi is a pretty boulder-strewn beach with a steep
drop-off and steady waves for strong swimmers. Ao Prao is another lovely sweep of sand.
There is no public transport on Ko Kut but you can rent motorbikes for exploring the
west coast beaches. Traffic is minimal and the road is mostly paved from Khlong Hin in
the southwest to Ao Noi in the northeast.
With its quiet rocky coves and mangrove estuaries, Ko Kut is great for snorkelling and
kayaking . Most resorts have equipment on offer.
Nam Tok Khlong Chao
Two waterfalls on the island make good short hiking destinations. The larger and more
popular Nam Tok Khlong Chao is wide and pretty with a massive plunge pool. It's a
quick jungle walk to the base, or you can kayak up Khlong Chao. Further north is Nam Tok
Khlong Yai Ki , which is smaller but also has a large pool to cool off in.

Sleeping & Eating
During low season (May to September) many boats stop running and bungalow opera-
tions wind down. On weekends and holidays during the high season, vacationing Thais
fill the resorts. Call ahead during busy periods so you can be dropped off at the appropri-
ate pier by the speedboat operators.
You can scrimp your way into the neighbourhood of beautiful Hat Khlong Chao by
staying at one of the village guesthouses, which are a five- to 15-minute walk to the
beach. Families might like the midrange and budget options on Ao Ngam Kho, which has
a small sandy section in the far northern corner of the bay, though the rest is an old coral
reef and very rocky. Bring swim shoes.
Ao Ngam Khao is also a popular spot for independent travellers, thanks to its good
choice of accommodation options.
If you're itching to splurge, Ko Kut is the place to do it.
