The Thai island of Ko Kut was recently voted among the top ten places to
spend Valentine’s Day by influential the media website The Huffington
Post.
The eastern island in the province of Trat was named alongside
global destinations such as the Amazon, Nepal and Peru.
TAT Governor, Mr. Thawatchai Arunyik
said, “It’s great that Ko Kut has been named among the world’s most
romantic destinations and a perfect Valentine’s retreat.
"Here courting
couples and honeymooners, young and old, will find all the elements that
will make a memorable holiday.
"As well as the warm seas, soft sands and
scented evenings, there is a real sense of privacy as the island is home
to only a few friendly fishing families.”
The Huffington Post listed destinations
that were pristine and offered privacy, tasty cuisine, lovely scenery and unique traditions.
Ko Kut was singled out for being an
intimate island hideaway, which, despite its size, is less populated than
other Thai islands and offers privacy for couples seeking a romantic
break.
The island’s palm-fringed beaches, lush rainforest and charming
fishing villages are among the romantic attractions that make it a
perfect Valentine’s destination.
Suggested activities for courting
couples include exploring underwater dives sites and taking a sunset
cocktail cruise.
TAT Governor said, “On Ko Kut, there
are also several luxury pool villas which offer romantic views of the
stunning sunsets over the Gulf of Thailand.
"It’s a distinctly “Thai”
setting and most people leave having falling in love with Thailand as
much as they have with each other”
Other romantic destinations named alongside
Ko Kut were the Seychelles, Tanzania’s South Serengeti, South Africa’s
Garden Route, the Northern Amazon in Peru, Norway’s Lyngen Alps, Bagan in
Myanmar, Patagonia in Argentina and Dhulikhel in Tibet.
The Huffington Post offers news, blogs,
and original content and covers politics, business, entertainment and
travel, and in 2012 was the first digital media enterprise to win the
prestigious Pulitzer Prize
