Over on the north east coast of Koh Kood, the fishing village of Ao Salad does have a couple of places to stay.
From its excellent vantage point over the bay, the aptly named Ao Salat View offers standard a/c bungalows, with prices ranging from 750bt to 850bt.
On the pier itself, the restaurant Captain Nhong offers ensuite and a/c doubles and family rooms, 700bt to 1,000bt. Dutchman Fishing Tours, which has rooms at 800bt, has closed.
Sitting in the next bay around the coast, Koh Kood Island, a Thai resort normally only used by group tours, is currently closed for major renovations, no news on when or if it may re-open.
As an area to stay, Ao Salad will give you a fascinating glimpse of a local Thai fishing village. Beyond that, however, it is limited in its attractions, with just a few dining options on the pier and not much else going on.
For the beach, you will need to head over to the west coast, some 20km or more, either by renting a motorbike or chartering a local songthaew taxi.
