With the vast majority of Thailand’s islands becoming a hotbed for tourists, Koh Kood Port is found on the coast of an island largely untouched by western travellers. For those that prefer to spend their holiday time engaged in tranquility, surrounded by stunning beaches and gorgeous landscapes, Koh Kood is the idyllic setting. The only way onto the island is by a boat from the mainland; the remote location and limited travel to the island are the primary reasons for its peaceful vibe and that looks set to continue for the foreseeable future. The port of Koh Kood is mainly used as a gateway to the Thailand mainland, with an average of two crossings provided per day. Considering it is the only form of transport away from the island, it’s important to the residents and tourists that the ferry runs fairly frequently, allowing passengers the chance to explore livelier areas of Thailand. The ferry route is provided by the high speed express boats belonging to Boonsiri High Speed Ferries, though the times and duration of the crossings can vary from season to season. There is limited transport around the island, in keep with the quiet, simplistic nature, so getting around the place can prove tricky. Most visitors tend to rely on taxis because of the lack of public transport, though most resorts will book a taxi for their customers.
Koh Samui is the third largest island belonging to Thailand, laying off the coast of Thailand’s mainland. The port lays on the southwest coast of the island with the town centre a 10-15 minute walk from the landing pier; for those not wishing to travel on foot there is also a taxi rank directly outside the port. Away from the port, the easiest and cheapest way to get around the island is by songthaew (a covered pick-up truck type vehicle that serves as a local bus) which are seen frequently and can be flagged down from the side of the road. The majority of the population live in the town surrounding the port, Nathorn, though the major sights are found scattered around the island. Because 90% of the island is buddhist, one of the main attractions is the Big Buddha, a giant statue that can be seen by walking up many stairs. It is worthwhile noting that visitors are required to remove their shoes if they are to walk up to witness the statue up close. Aside from the Big Buddha, Koh Samui has copious beaches on offer – the most popular is Chaweng Beach which has plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops to enjoy. The island is notorious for being the most upmarket in Thailand, transforming its clientele from backpackers on a budget to middle class Europeans and North Americans. To escape the tourist focused areas, the south of the island offers a totally different landscape; Samui family-run restaurants are hidden among long stretches of coconut palms and dusty roads. Ferry routes run relatively frequently from the port to the neighbouring islands as well as the Thailand mainland; the crossings are all fairly short and comfortable making it a stress free sailing.
