It is a major island ringed by sleepy seaside villages and coconut plantations. It is about one hour from the mainland by speedboat.
Kut Island has limited infrastructure and hence is not as popular as nearby Ko Chang. Several small resorts on the islands cater to mostly Thai tourists who prefer a quiet and family-friendly atmosphere. The island has great beaches and is a great spot to get away from the "farang crowd".
