Koh Kut (also spelled Koh Kood) is a relatively unspoiled island in the far east of Thailand. It’s near the border with Cambodia and is part of the same island chain as Koh Chang. It is home to some amazing white sand beaches, all along the west coast of the island.
There isn’t one beach that everyone will agree is the best beach on Koh Kood. I will give you my list of what I feel are the best beaches on the island. They’re all worth visiting, hop on your scooter, take a look and decide for yourself.
Klong Hin beach
400 meters long and with just a couple of locally owned and run bungalow resorts, it’s off the beaten path and an ideal spot to do nothing for a couple of days. The budget resorts – Klong Hin Beach Resort and Montana Hut are popular with package tourists. Access is via the same road that leads to Takian beach, and then you follow a dirt trail through a coconut grove. This is an awesome location and the beach is something you would see on a post card.
Takian beach
South of Bang Bao the shoreline begins to face southwest, so the beaches get more of the prevailing winds and tend to have a more windswept feel about them. The sea is often rougher and on the undeveloped stretches of beach garbage, washed up from the ocean, accumulates. Takian ( Takean ) beach is another picturesque bay with some rocky outcrops breaking up the sand. Access is via the dirt track that isn’t marked at all. The road is easily navigated by scooter or songtaw and you will be happy when you reach this beach.

A stunning horseshoe shaped bay. This is one of the most popular beaches on the island with a range of accommodation and some very good snorkelling. It’s an idyllic spot.
There are several piers on this beach that you can catch speed boats to Koh Chang or for a diving/snorkeling tour. The sand and water are also amazing.
The only downside is that at high tide most of the beach disappears underwater. On the main road nearby there are a few good ..
