Koh Maak
This is an attractive, low-lying island 16 square kilometres in size. Since there are few hills the island is widely cultivated with coconut and rubber plantations.
The population is only around 500 so there is little infrastructure outside the resorts. Electricity has recently become available around the clock.
See the transport section for details of the various ferries to the island that operate from the mainland. Alternatively some of the Koh Chang boat trip services can drop you off on the island. Enquire for details.
Representatives from the resorts meet the ferry and offer free pick up and drop off to visitors.
There are pretty beaches in the bays to the northwest and southwest of the island and this is where most of the resorts are located.
Diving on the island is offered by Ploy Scuba Diving from Panorama resort to the south of the island and also now from Monkey Island resort.
You can access E-mail at Koh Mak Resort or do so while admiring the great view from Ko Mak Villa.
Three smaller islands off Koh Maak have resorts and can be reached fairly easily from Koh Maak itself. They are Koh Kham, Koh Rayang Nok and Koh Kra Dad. A daily boat goes to Koh Rayang Nok from Holiday Beach resort at 10am and returns at 4pm. Free transit to Koh Maak is provided by the resort. To arrange transport to the other islands contact the resorts or enquire on Koh Maak.
