Location
The proximity to Cambodia has drawn not only Thais but also many Cambodians to the island of Koh Kood. Fishing villages and wild natural landscapes make this relatively untouched area by tourism a charming place. Here, you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. Guests first fly from Bangkok to Trat and are then taken directly to the resort in about 45 minutes by private seaplane. This exclusive journey ensures not only a stress-free trip but also a spectacular view of the coastal landscape and the turquoise sea.
