Koh Kood Ngam Kho Resort
Flashpacker by the sea
What we say: 
Koh Kood Ngam Kho Resort is pushing things by calling itself a resort, but this old-style bungalow joint wedged between Dusita Resort and the southern headland offers sold wood and thatch bungalows that are, for Koh Kood, quite fair value. All bungalows come with hammocks on their verandas and just about all have a view to some extent. They're thoughtfully designed and are fully screened in which is a great asset as the mosquitoes around here are savage. All are fan-cooled and the bungalows are available either with a private cold-water bathroom or with shared facilities. The restaurant is excellent, serving enormous portions, and the Thai food is very good. WiFi is advertised but, as with most places on the island, is too slow or patchy for much actual use. The beach is mudflats at low tide and not all that desirable at high tide either, but two minutes' walk north takes you to the front of Dusita where the beach is far better. For the money, this is solid Ko Kut value. Recommended.

Wonderful
I moved here after a horrible stay at Siam Beach. My plan was three nights, but I ended up staying 11! I was quite impressed with the bungalows, which had a decent (though very small) bathroom with sink, western toilet, cold shower and tiled floor and a comfty bed with a good mossie net. The price is 650/night (without breakfast as mentioned in some of the reviews) The staff are really lovely and the place is operated by a huge extended family. Over my stay the owner Mr Joe and fluent English-speaking daughter were helping out over the NY period, but then left and various cousins appeared then disappeared! The location is beautiful, and it is very quiet at night. It attracted a 30-70 age range and most people were in bed at 9pm (well, the rooster does wake you at 5am!) The food is served really quickly, but all of the guests were soon moaning about the lack of a range of cheap dishes on the menu, so after a few days it got a bit ''samey'' and people wondered off to other places to eat. Two friends joined me for four nights and loved it as well. There is a ''For Sale'' sign on their website, so get there before it becomes another spa resort.

Back again!
Still great but not as quiet as last time when we were alone there. This year the place was full. That meant that it was not so quiet at night with the drunk Europeans going well into the night. That does not make the beach crowded though with only eight bungalows there. Food still very good.

Nice one
Price was 500bht with no breakfast. Clean, well designed bungalows. For breakfast I preferred climbing up the hill to Hindam to take in the nice view.. For dinner S-beach in the other direction is the best bang for the buck.

Super nice spot
The price is now 550B for the fan bungalow with net over the bed. Cozy and scenic spot. Agree with forbesyone's review. A great cheap spot to get away from the typical beach crowds. Joe has a great cook there and if you figure the price of two breakfasts included, then 550B is a good deal. It is the second of five in a row resorts, but seems secluded because of the landscape. Going south you go up the hill on the point and Hin Dam is first then Analay which has a lovely spot if you want to pay 1,500 & 2,000B. Hin Dam has chickens which crow in the dark.

thank your mr joe
Have just finished staying here for 5 days and dont know who did the review for this but perhaps they,d had three Changs too many as there were no Thais either before, during or after our stay. Just traditional thai bungalows to relax in, a nice beach with admittedly, very average snorkelling, and great thai food cooked by Joe and his family. Nothing is too much for this guy and we felt right at home. We hired a motorbike and went all over the island and we made the right choice. And yes while 650 bht may seem alot it does include breakfast and the atmosphere is hard to beat. I would recommend it without reservation if nothing else for the welcome and the personal attention. Oh yeah, if you go to the fishing village you have to eat there as everything is sitting in big nets next to the restaurants and they will pull out fresh prawns, crabs and reef fish and cook up right here in front of you. Count on about 500 baht for a crab and fish spectacular. Enjoy!
