Shantaa Resort location :

Shantaa is located at Ao Tapao, just north of the pier. We have beach, hill and a private canal. And we are about 80 Km away from Trad town. Kood Island (Koh Kood) is the last island of the east and it's the 4th largest island of Thailand. There are waterfalls and forest. Koh Kood is still considered a virgin island. There are no banks, malls, convenient sotres or any signs of moderniztion on the island (yet).
