The fishing village of Ao Salat is home to around 300 people, making it the largest settlement on the island. The village is built on stilts in the water, and is quite interesting and well worth the rather long road trip to get there. This is also the departure and arrival terminal for the Koh Kood Princess ferry. It has a few very good seafood restaurants (including a homestay and souvenir shop) where you can choose your own seafood straight from the fishing nets. Expect to pay around 500 baht for the trip, as cars are quite scarce. Or rent a scooter.
A typical fishing village. The concrete road takes you all the way to it. Good place to enjoy fresh seafood. Cheap snorkelling and fishing trips can be arranged here with local fishermen.
Hiking path connecting Klong Chao and Ngamkho Bay. There is an impressive, old rock formation. What it resembles is the subject of some dispute. It's a religious site for Thais.
A grove of massive 300-500 year old trees in the middle of the rain forest. Worth a visit.
The Secret Waterfall
At the end of a strenuous, steep 100 m path.
The largest waterfall on the island, with a huge pool that you can swim in. A 20- to 30-min walk from the turn-off, sometimes you can hitch. Organised tours usually visit the waterfall in the afternoon.
This waterfall is smaller, more quiet and also with a pool where you can swim.
