Ko Kut, Thailand

---

Ko Kut is a small, remote island on the way to southern Cambodia. A few years ago I took the same trip headed to Sihounukville in the extreme south of Cambodia. Ko Kut is in Thailand but perhaps as far as one can travel and still be in the country. We boarded the same enclosed, cigar shaped boat as I had done a few years before, which basically forces its way through the seas with the water pretty well up to the windows; this for several hours.
Arriving in Ko Kut we took about an hour by "rote duey san" i.e. small passenger truck to our little hut by the sea. The island is remote and shows no indications of modern tourist conveniences.

Hut by the Sea
This is "home" for a week on Ko Kut This beautiful and remote island gave respite and tranquility.

Outside our door
The bay outside of our door stretched for about a mile with a wide beach, few people and the rolling seas coming in. (We saw one farange i.e. foreigner during this time as well as a small group of Vietnamese who were likely illegal, but welcomed by the Thais nonetheless).

Sunset
This pic was taken outside of our veranda. Friends stayed in the cottage to our right and we were all just a few feet from the lonely/isolated/welcoming beach in front of us.

Just strolling along
This island is definitly not on a major tourist route. We could stroll along for hours not seeing another person.

Ko Kut
Getting some wave action on Ko Kut; this reminded me a little of Vancouver Island.

Cooling Pool
We headed inland on the island and came upon this wonderful, cooling, pool and waterfall. Decided to spend the afternoon here. Remembrances of childhood!

Inside the Cigar
If you are claustrophobic don't take this trip.

Outside the Window
Those seas are about 3 inches away.
