Koh Kood (Ko Kut) - The island is only 25,600 acres total, but most of its interior is absolutely wild jungle. Some of it has never been penetrated by man: because of the undergrowth it can take two hours to climb its highest peak, Khao Phaenth, all of 1,000 feet a.s.l. There are coconut and rubber plantations, but increasingly, the just-under 2,000 permanent residents turn to tourism as a means of livelihood to supplement what they earn from fishing. The surrounding waters are crystal clear, and its wonderful beaches include Khlong Chao Beach, Phrao Beach, Ta Pho Beach and Thakian Beach.
