The Ngam Kho Resort
Compare prices
Nestled on Koh Kood, one of Thailand's lesser-visited and more pristine islands in the Gulf of Thailand, The Ngam Kho Resort provides a peaceful base for travellers seeking a slower pace and natural surroundings away from the crowds. The resort has earned a strong reputation among guests, reflecting consistent satisfaction with its setting and hospitality. Visitors can expect an intimate resort atmosphere suited to those who appreciate tranquility over tourist infrastructure. Koh Kood itself is known for its clear waters, jungle interior, and relatively undeveloped coastline, making it an appealing destination for nature-oriented travellers. The resort's location positions guests well to explore the island's beaches, waterfalls, and local village life at a comfortable pace. On the practical side, Koh Kood is accessible by speedboat or ferry from the mainland, typically departing from piers near Trat. The island sees its best weather between November and April, when seas are calmer and rainfall is minimal — this is the ideal window for booking a stay. Prospective guests should note that the resort's primary online presence is through Facebook rather than a dedicated website, so reaching out directly via that channel is the most reliable way to check availability, confirm rates, and arrange any transfers. As with many smaller island resorts in Thailand, early contact is advisable during peak season.
