If you're seeking accommodation on Koh Kood that is neither luxurious nor bustling, but instead offers a genuine sense of tranquility and natural charm, this homestay is a must-visit. Here, you'll truly understand the meaning of 'slow but happy.'
This small homestay is tucked away amidst towering trees in Koh Kood district, Trat province. It's a short journey from the pier, but upon arrival, you'll feel as though you've stepped into another world. There's no sound of waves or traffic—only the chirping of crickets and the rustling of leaves in the breeze, creating an atmosphere of peace and simplicity.
Each wooden house is designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Elevated on stilts with thatched roofs and small wooden balconies, some houses are situated by a clear stream flowing from the mountains, while others are surrounded by lush greenery, keeping them cool throughout the day without the need for air conditioning.
Mornings here are particularly magical. Sunlight filters through the treetops, casting a warm glow on the balconies, accompanied by the sound of birds and a light mist in the air. The hosts prepare a homemade breakfast—steaming hot rice porridge, aromatic drip coffee, and fresh fruits from their garden. It's a simple yet heartwarming experience, akin to dining at a friend's house in the forest.
In the afternoon, you can easily explore nearby beaches like Khlong Yai Kee Beach and Bang Bao Beach, just a 10–15 minute motorbike ride away. Alternatively, you can relax at the homestay, where kayaks are available for paddling in the clear stream around the property, offering both fun and tranquility.
What many guests love most is the 'warm hospitality of the hosts,' who treat visitors like old friends, offering recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. On some evenings, they even invite guests to gather for a meal under soft lights by the stream—a simple yet joy-filled experience that luxury resorts can't replicate.
If you're feeling weary from city life and yearn to rest your mind, body, and soul while listening to the sounds of nature instead of phone notifications, Forestel Homestay Koh Kood is the perfect place to truly 'rest.'
