Why go, and how to do it well

Klong Chao Beach is Koh Kood's main beach and one of eastern Thailand's finest — a wide ribbon of soft white sand where the Klong Chao river meets the sea, giving you a beach on one side and a calm, kayakable lagoon on the other. The water is clear and gently shelving, sunsets land straight down the beach, and the handful of resorts and beach bars keep things low-key rather than lively. The signature excursion is paddling or walking twenty minutes upriver to Klong Chao Waterfall, a jungle swimming hole with a rope swing. It's the island's best all-round base, with beautiful sand, easy food options, and the rest of Koh Kood within scooter reach.

Tips for Visiting Beaches

Go Early for Empty Sand

Even the busiest beaches are nearly deserted before 9 AM. A sunrise walk is the best hour of the day on the sand, and you'll beat the heat for a morning swim.

Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Many Thai marine parks ban chemical sunscreens that damage coral. Bring reef-safe (mineral/zinc-based) sunscreen from home — it's harder to find and pricier in Thailand.
