X2 Resort and Residences, Koh Kood.

Standing on the lawn in front of the X2 (pronounced ‘cross two’) Resort and Residences, one of several new and planned residential developments overlooking the waters that surround Koh Kood, it is easy to see the attraction of this remote island in the Gulf of Siam. The prevailing atmosphere is one of total calm and natural beauty, and the secluded location off the main road on the west coast offers the kind of island getaway feel that has become a rarity, even in Thailand.

Great article. Let’s hope the area stays unspoiled and charming. In a lot of places the authorities have fortunately learned from the mistakes of Pattaya and Phuket and demand much stricter adherence to rules and regulations, that are in fact in existence everywhere, but not always adhered to nor enforced.
