The Paradise on Earth: Koh Kood Day 1

As promised, today I'd like to tell you guys about my trip to koh kood, Trat ...

There are 6 travellers for this trip that we call "Finding Peter Pan", don't think that much on the trip title just refer to the name of resort "Captain Hook Resort". Here's all the brave of finding Peter Pan trip

Tong (me); Luk Tor; Jibby; Yaowalak; Nut; and Note

Resort information: Captain Hook Resort – situated facing by the beach of Haad Klong Yai Ki, and Klong Ra Harn beach at the back. The crystal clear water in the front of resort is the perforct diving points to see marine lives. Beside the resort, there is a small canal that could lead you to natural waterfall of the island.

We devided into 2 cars for girls (Toyota Yaris) and boys (Mazda), took off from bangkok at 2 am (5 May, we all slept early for long journey to Trat) on Motorway (the meeting point). We drove through the route 344 then connect with route 3 direct to Glang District for about 2 hours. Then follow the signs to Chantaburi and Trat ... Well, while we were on the way to Laem-Soak Pier, the rain was raining but remember -- There's a light after cloud, so it's sunny all the first day on the island.

Note Tip: Most visitors to Koh Kood have to purchase a package tour offered by resort operators on Koh Kood at different prices that includes food, accommodation, and a boat fare. A boat for rent is also available apart from a ferry boat leaving Dan Kao Pier and Laem Ngob Pier.
