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

Hidden away on the relatively untouched island of Koh Kood lies The Kraken, a bar and pub that is very popular with both travelers passing through and guests who stay longer than planned. Its name refers to seafaring mythology and is perfectly suited to this location on one of Thailand's quieter, more remote islands in the Koh Chang archipelago near the Cambodian border.

Guests can expect a relaxed island atmosphere that perfectly complements Koh Kood's leisurely pace. The restaurant opens daily at 11:00 AM and stays open until midnight – ideal for enjoying a refreshing drink in the early afternoon or unwinding after a day on the water. The continuous opening hours, seven days a week, make planning easier and are a real advantage on an island where many establishments have irregular hours.

Koh Kood is less developed for tourism than its neighboring islands of Koh Chang and Koh Samui. Therefore, finding a reliable and reputable bar that's open all week is a real advantage for holidaymakers. Visitors planning to go out in the evening should be aware that transportation options on Koh Kood are limited after dark. It's advisable to arrange a return trip in advance or stay overnight nearby.
