Ko Kut ( Thai: เกาะกูด, pronounced [kɔ̀ʔ kùːt]) is a district ( amphoe) of Trat province, eastern Thailand, consisting of a group of islands. With a population of 2,894 in 2011, it is the district with the smallest population in all of Thailand.
Originally, the area of the district was part of the sub-district ( tambon) Ko Chang, Laem Ngop district. In 1952, the sub-district Ko Mak was established to cover the whole island, at that time subdivided into four villages ( mubans). [1] In 1980, three villages of Ko Mak were split off to create sub-district Ko Kut. [2] On 1 April 1990, the government upgraded tambon Ko Kut together with tambon Ko Mak to a minor district ( king amphoe). [3]
The Thai government on 15 May 2007 upgraded all 81 minor districts to full districts. [4] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official. [5]
As local government entities, the two tambon administrative organizations (TAO) were created in 2003 and 2004 respectively. The Tambon Council Ko Kut was upgraded to a TAO in 2003, [6] and Ko Mak in 2004. [7]
The largest island in the district, Ko Kut, is a major island dotted with seaside villages and coconut plantations. It is about 60 minutes from the mainland by speedboat.
The district is divided into two sub-districts ( tambons), which are further subdivided into eight villages ( mubans). There are two tambon administrative organizations (TAO), one for each sub-district.
