ðïļ Discovering Koh Mak
If you dream of a quiet Thai island with palmâfringed beaches, coconut groves and friendly locals, Koh Mak is the place. Located about 35 km from the mainland in the Gulf of Thailand, itâs the third largest island in Trat Province after Koh Chang and Koh Kut en.wikipedia.org. At 16 kmÂē, Koh Mak has 27 km of coastline and only a handful of small hills en.wikipedia.org. The island hosts roughly 400 residents and a temple, primary school, three fishing villages, a market and a health centre en.wikipedia.orgâgiving it the feel of a closeâknit community rather than a tourist hotspot.
ðī History & Lifestyle
Koh Mak was first settled in the early 20th century by Chao Sua Seng, a Chinese Affairs Officer who planted coconut trees en.wikipedia.org. Ownership later passed to Luang Prompakdii and has since remained with descendants of five families who cultivate coconuts and rubber en.wikipedia.org. Despite its small size, the island operates as a subdistrict (tambon) of Ko Kut District, and its name comes from the Thai word for areca (betel) nut en.wikipedia.org. Today there are around 15 smallâscale resorts en.wikipedia.org, but strict zoning keeps the atmosphere tranquil. There are no nightclubs or loud bars, and locals promote plastic reduction and encourage visitors to join weekly beach cleanâups as part of the Trash Hero campaign en.wikipedia.org.
ðĪ What to Do
Koh Mak is ringed by sandy beaches like Ao Suon Yai and Ao Kao where you can swim, sunbathe or paddleboard. At low tide you can even walk to Ko Kham, a tiny island with a black volcanic beach en.wikipedia.org. Seaâkayak trips to Ko Kham or Ko Phi reveal coral reefs and colourful fish en.wikipedia.org. Visit the small temple and explore the fishing villages to learn about island life. Thereâs also a banyan tree grove (Sai Ngam), similar to the spiritual groves found in Cambodian and Lao folklore, where locals believe nature spirits reside. For an ecoâtourism twist, join locals on Saturday beach cleanâups and see how communityârun tourism keeps the island pristine.
ð Parallels with Cambodia & Laos
Koh Mak sits not far from the Cambodian border, and its calm waters mirror those around Cambodiaâs Koh Rong and Laosâ Si Phan Don archipelago. Like these neighbours, it relies on smallâscale fishing and farming. The absence of nightlife recalls the peaceful islands in the Mekong where Buddhist values encourage early nights and respect for nature. Just as Cambodians and Laotians celebrate water festivals (Songkran, Chaul Chnam Thmey, Bunpimay) to honour rivers and oceans, Koh Makâs residents show gratitude by protecting their beaches and coral reefs.
ðĪ Did You Know?
Sunday Times recognition: In 2006, Koh Makâs beaches made the UKâs Sunday Times list of the worldâs most beautiful en.wikipedia.org.
Plastic free pioneer: The island promotes recycling and has no 7âEleven or ATM machines, encouraging visitors to support local shops and reduce plastic use en.wikipedia.org.
Family heritage: Descendants of the original five families still own most of the land and maintain coconut and rubber plantations
en.wikipedia.org.
Crossing islands: At low tide you can walk or wade to neighbouring Ko Kham, while a short boat ride takes you to the quiet island of Koh Kraden.
