Koh Kut (or "Koh Kood ") is the farthest island from the coast of Trat province (main land) and the fourth largest island in Thailand or the second largest island next to Koh Chang. Koh Kut, which is 25 kilometers long and 12 kilometers wide, covers an area of approximately 105 square kilometers or 65,625 rai. Koh Kut natural features include mountains and plains where many streams originate and become waterfalls. One famous waterfall is Nam Tok Klong Chao, which flows throughout the year and is an ideal place for swimming as it is comprised of 3 tiers; of which the upper two tiers are running streams and the lower one is a large pond. In 1911, King Rama VI paid a royal visit to this waterfall and named it Nam Tok Anam Kok to commemorate Ong Chiang Su. In addition; there are beaches with crystal-clear seas which are popular among visitors such as Ta Pao Beach, Klong Chao Beach, Klong Hin Beach, Prao Beach, and etc. Accommodations with a private atmosphere is available for visitors at the inner sea of Koh Kut, and the other two islands, Koh Rat and Koh Mai Si, opposite to Koh Kut. The island is rather flat compared to Koh Chang. Inland, the island is very wild with a lot of coconut and rubber tree plantations located in the plains. Most of the island inhabitants live off of the cultivation of coconut, rubber production or fishing. But meanwhile the expanding tourism industry gives more and more work to the less than 2,000 residents.

But until the end of May, when it is hotter than the cool season, a visit is still convenient. Even during monsoon season, Koh Kut is worth visiting for it does not rain every day and all day long.
