Ko Kut (Thai: เกาะกูด) is a district (Amphoe) of Trat Province, eastern Thailand, consisting of a group of islands. With a population of about 2000 it is the district with the lowest population of all Thailand.
It is a major island ringed by sleepy seaside villages and coconut plantation. It is about one hour from the mainland by speedboat.
Kut Island has limited infrastructure and hence is not overrun by tourists like nearby Ko Chang. Several small resorts on the islands cater to mostly Thai tourists who prefer a quiet and family-friendly atmosphere.
In the past the area of the district was a village controlled by tambon Ko Mak, Laem Ngop district. It was upgraded to tambon Ko Kut in 1980. On April 1 1990 the government upgraded tambon Ko Kut together with tambon Ko Mak to a minor district (King Amphoe).
