Ko Kut

Ko Kut is a large island in eastern Thailand offering long undeveloped beaches with white sand, dense forest inland, and several waterfalls scattered through the interior. The coastline varies between open bays and rocky sections, with the center of the island remaining heavily forested and less developed.

The island remained remote and sparsely settled for much of its history, with fishing being the main activity. Official recognition came during the early 1900s when some of its natural features received formal names.

Fishing communities shape daily life across the island, with boats and nets visible along the shores and in small settlements. Their way of living from the sea is woven into how the place looks and functions today.

The best time to visit is during the dry season when ferry services run reliably and weather stays stable. Keep in mind that the island is less developed than other destinations, so it helps to expect simpler conditions and fewer commercial services.

The island sits at Thailand's easternmost edge in the sea, lying directly before the Cambodian border. This remote location has kept it from heavy development and gives it a genuine frontier character that travelers often do not expect.
