Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Ao Phrao is the southernmost of the main bays on Koh Kood's west coast. This long stretch of white sand beach with clear, calm water lies at the southern end of the island. Many visitors consider it the most beautiful beach on Koh Kood. People come here to watch the sunset, something not possible in the more northerly Khlong Hin bay.

Two resorts are located directly on the beach and offer some swings and sun loungers. However, since there aren't many restaurants, many guests eat elsewhere. The most frequently mentioned issue in recent reviews is the litter. At high tide, plastic washes ashore, and several guests complain about the trash on the beach, leaving it looking quite unkempt after high tide.

The village temple Wat Ao Phrao is located directly behind the beach. It's situated at the southernmost point of the beaches, making the restaurants of Klong Chao easily accessible by scooter. The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to April, when the sea is calm. Our Koh Kood travel guide describes all the island's beaches.
