Very charming and very quiet place, with good views and easy and varied options to get around. It is close to the historical park, they have bicycle rentals for 60 baht a day, the woman does fantastic massages and you have 2 7elevens very close and different places to eat. Highly recommended to rest when you come to visit Ayutthaya. PS: Excuse me. I wrote this review about a guesthouse in Ayutthaya, north of Bangkok, not on the island of Koh Kood. In Koh Kood there are no Seven Elevens, only small family shops, it is the island with the least overload of tourism, close to Cambodia and with a very peculiar and calm vibe. The places to sleep are generally very expensive, but you can find things at a good price. To the south of the island there is a fishing town where you can rent rooms at a better price. Very good price where the rooms are strong pistachio green. The best we found and where we stayed for 15 days. Not far from palang gym, Muay Thai palang new gym

Rent a motorbike and ride through the forest. On the way to Khlong Chao Waterfall If you're lucky you'll find it. Gardeners were collecting #reserves. At first we saw spare ones falling from the trees. I thought I was in the movie Avatar, so beautiful 😍 like a million butterflies flying 🦋🦋🦋🦋

I've already gone and want to go again 😂 But I would like to add some lights on the main road. At night I'm afraid I can't see. But it's really very good. The people on the island are all lovely.

It has always been the number 1 island in my heart. No matter how many times you go, the tranquility, riding in the morning with the gentle sunshine, cool breeze, and having fun up and down the many hills. There is a waterfall to play in. There is a forest to walk around. There is an evergreen forest to experience the most naturalness. There is a mangrove forest to sit and admire. There is a beautiful snorkeling spot with schools of fish swimming.
