The island Koh Kut (Thai: เกาะกูด) is located in the district of Trat Province, eastern
Thailand which borders with Cambodia. With a population of about 2000
it is the district with the lowest population of all Thailand. Total
island area: 162.2 km².
It is a major island ringed by sleepy seaside villages, coconut
plantation and jungle. It is about two hour from the mainland by
speedboat. Kut Island has limited infrastructure and hence is not
overrun by tourists like nearby Ko Chang. Several small resorts on the
islands cater to mostly Thai tourists who prefer, like us, a quiet and
family-friendly atmosphere.
We just got back from our holiday to Thailand. We had such a great
time ;-) Thanks for all comments during my vacation. The rainy season
in Thailand is from May till November. During this season you got some
of those torrential rains that last 30 minutes to 2 hours, like this
one above, then clearing and sun. It was a most spectacular scene and
scary too. Recently the tropical storm Kammuri killed hundreds of
people in Vietnam. So I could have shot my last picture.
Het tropisch eiland Koh Kut ligt in de Thaise provincie Trat dat grenst in het oosten aan Cambodja. De provincie is vooral bekend vanwege de vele eilanden en de vaak nog ongerepte stranden. Het grote eiland Koh Chang wordt inmiddels overspoeld met toeristen terwijl je nog rust kan vinden op het veel verder gelegen eiland Koh Kut met een oppervlakte van 162.2 km². Een per dag gaat er een speedboot naar Koh Kut. De overtocht duurt twee uur. De paar wegen op het eiland zijn nog niet geasfalteerd waardoor je zelfs met een 4DW vast komt te zitten in de kuilen en modder van de weg. Maar als je uiteindelijk bij je bungalow bent aangekomen is het allemaal niet voor niets geweest. Vanuit onze baai hadden we een fantastisch schouwspel van zonlicht en onweer. Het duurde niet lang voordat het begon te regenen en regenen kan het daar!
