Koh Kood Resort during the low season
In previous years, the entire island of Koh Kood would basically close down for the raining season between June and mid October and the speedboat and ferry companies did not run during those months. However, this year at least one of the ferry companies is going to carry people to Koh Kood on a daily basis during the low season as well.
This will result in the Koh Kood Resort being able to keep it's doors open for business the entire year! The mostly likely customers during this period will be weekend trippers from Bangkok and other parts of Thailand, but if guests would like to stay at the resort during the week, we will welcome them with open arms. Remember though: only one speedboat will sail during these months and if there are extreme weather or sea conditions, they may sometimes have to skip a day.
Also note that during the low season different rules apply for reservations. For instance: it will be possible to book our 3 days / 2 nights nature lover package (with possible extension days), but because our restaurant will be the only in the area that will be open and we kneed to know exactly how much food we need to get from the fisherman village and / or the mainland, so just walking in is not recommended.The Romantic getaway package will not be available during the low season.
Furthermore, unlike in the details written on our getting to Koh Kood page, there will only be one speedboat departure per day until the 1st of October at 09:00 and before 11 September there is only an afternoon speedboat that will carry people to the Ao Salat port on the north east of the island. Also know that both of our sister resorts in the same bay will probably be closed during the rain season, so your stay may be somewhat of a solitary experience, as there may not be any, or very few, other guests nearby. Between the sea, the snorkeling trip or waterfall trip (depending on the weather conditions) which is included in the nature lover package, the bungalow, the restaurant with it's skeleton staff, and a good book, you probably won't get to see or do much else. On the upside: the layout of our Bang Boa Bay protects swimmers and kayakers from possible dangerous weather and / or sea conditions that will affect other, less protected, beaches on Koh Kood and Koh Chang. We also expect to be able to run air conditioners, the central Satellite TV and the Satellite internet set 24 hours per day, since the consumption from the other resorts will be low, thus being able to rely on the power generated by the government, rather then having to run our generators.
