ISLAND
Ko Kut is Thailand’s fourth largest island. We think it’s a perfect paradise: lots of palm trees, clear water and lots of good beaches. Ko Kut is known for its pristine natural beauty, lush rainforests, clear waters, and serene atmosphere. The island offers a variety of beautiful beaches, each with its unique charm. Here it is almost impossible to rank our top beaches against each other, as they are all amazing and equally deserving of a diamond.

The island is much less crowded compared to Ko Chang. The beaches are located on the west side of the island, ideal for colorful sunsets. The further south you go, the quieter it gets. The island is known for diving and also offers places to take cooking or yoga classes.
