Ao Yai Fishing Village, Koh Kood – Local Life by the Sea
| Ao Yai Fishing Village is a traditional seaside community on the southeastern coast of Koh Kood, where local life remains closely connected to the sea. Wooden stilt houses, small piers, fishing boats and working nets reflect a way of life continued for generations. Visitors can walk through the village, observe the fishing community and enjoy fresh fish, crab, squid and seasonal seafood at local waterfront restaurants, experiencing an authentic side of Koh Kood beyond its beaches. |
Where Koh Kood Still Lives by the Sea
Ao Yai Fishing Village, on the southeastern coast of Koh Kood, is one of the island’s long-established fishing communities. Wooden homes stand on stilts above the water, connected by walkways and small piers, while fishing boats remain moored almost at the front door. Sheltered by green hills and forest behind the bay, the village reflects a way of life shaped by the sea long before Koh Kood became known for tropical resorts and white-sand beaches.
What makes Ao Yai special is that it remains a living fishing community, rather than a village created for tourism. Boats still leave to fish, nets and equipment remain part of everyday life, and fresh fish, crab, squid, and seasonal seafood find their way into small restaurants built above the water. Sitting down for lunch here connects the entire story in front of you—Sea → Fishermen → Community → Food—turning a simple seafood meal into part of understanding island life.
Ao Yai adds something to Koh Kood that beaches and waterfalls cannot: the story of the people who live here. Walk slowly through the village, watch fishing boats move across the bay, and take time over lunch rather than treating the community as another quick sightseeing stop. You do not need an entire day here—only enough time to notice that behind the beautiful island travelers see today lies a community whose relationship with the sea has continued for generations.
