Koh Kood, which is also often spelled as Koh Kut , is a great island to visit and probably the best in Thailand for lovers of beaches, jungles and waterfalls. Plus the roads are almost deserted, making it an ideal island for exploring by scooter. While out exploring a small but beautiful beach to visit is Khlong Hin Beach.
Khlong Hin Beach is a fairly small beach located midway between Ao Takhian Beach and Ao Phrao Beach on the southwest of Koh Kood. This small bay has just a couple of rustic bungalow type accommodations. Apart from these accommodations, you will not find any other restaurants around here. It is worth noting that during low tide the water tends to recede a fair way out, so consider what time of the day you visit.
The beach is what you would see on a postcard for the perfect tropical beach. It’s well worth a visit to enjoy this beach.

Wat Nang Kui วัดนางกุย
Wat Nang Kui or the Monastery of the Lady named Kui is an active temple located
off the city island in the southern area. The monastery is situated along the Chao Phraya River. To its west side lies Wat Khun Phrom and to its south Wat Mai Bang Kaja.
The monastery was built in 1587, a few years after the first fall of Ayutthaya. The construction was sponsored by a wealthy woman called Lady Kui, thus the name of the temple. After the second fall of Ayutthaya the monastery was left empty and neglected until in the Bangkok period during the Reign of King Rama III, the monastery was renovated.
The temple is actually known for its sandstone Buddha image, Mae Takhian Thong and Luang Pho Yim statue.
Historical data about the monastery is unknown.
From the temple you have nearly a straight view on Pom Phet or the Diamond Fort. It is assumed to have been occupied by the Burmese army in the last battle for Ayutthaya in 1767.

In the peripheral corridors, dozens of unique statues are also made of carved wood. Wat Mettatham Photiyan is set to expand to accommodate even more statues. Hundreds more are already stored to the right of the main hall and are waiting to be installed in the new temple buildings.
