-Welcome to Koh Mak, Koh Kham and A&A Travelling. Koh Mak is part of the Mu Koh Chang Marine National Park in eastern Thailand, around 40 km from the Trat coast and 20 km south of Koh Chang. This paradise is still relatively unknown. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday and long deserted beaches, then you came to the right place.
The island covers an area of about 16 square km, a little too big for walking around, but easy for biking. Many foreigners drive scooters around the island, and this is definitely one of the easiest and safest islands to drive. There is not much traffic here, due to the fact that there isn`t a vehicle
ferry to the island.
Taxis charge pretty much around 50 Thb/person regardless of where you want to go.
There are two small villages on the island. Baan Ao Nid on the southeastern coast is home to 50 families, the island`s school, temple and clinic. Ban Lae Som is the second one and is located in the northwest corner of the island.
Rubber plantations are very common on the island. Rubber has become the most economically significant plant of Thailand after rice.
WHAT TO DO IN KOH MAK?
-Visit the beautiful Koh Kham Island
This beautiful small island is privately owned, it is accessible by boat and you will have to pay an entrance fee of 200 thb. The island measures only 300 from north to south and 200 meters from east to west.

Ao Suan Yai Beach
Located on the northwest coast of Koh Mak facing Koh Chang, is one of Koh Mak`s two main beaches stretching for around two km.

This is the most developed and popular beach on the island stretching for 5 km. This is our favourite sunset place with great views of Koh Rayang Nok and Koh Rayang Nai.
Laem Son Beach
In this remote place you will find and empty sand beach with crystal clear waters, surrounded by Laem Son Trees which give the area its name. From here you can take a fishing boat to the interesting Koh Kradat Island which is kown for being the Deer Island. We definitely recommend it.
