Koh Mak is a large island located between Koh Chang and Koh Kood Most of its plains area is coconut plantations. The whole area of this island covers 16 sq.km with a round distance of 27 km. Long coconut beaches and crystal clear sea are the splendid attractions of the island. A natural, tropical island, Thailand's preserved treasure, is an ideal destination for visitors who enjoy a tranquil environment unspoiled by mass tourism. Amongst 10,000 palm trees, there’s a temple, three fishing community villages, rubber plantations, and still uninhabited beaches like this unspoiled Aow Pra beach above. I found several hermit crabs running here at the beach. The hermit crab is a type of crab that doesn't have a very hard shell. Not a true crab, it uses other animals' old shells for protection; they especially like old whelk shells. As the hermit crab grows in size, it must find a larger shell. Koh Mak is the perfect place to relax, explore, calm your mind and smoothe your senses. Koh Mak Island, where less is more.

Koh Mak is a little island perfect to explore and getting close to nature, bicycle through coconut plantations along the coastline full of thousand coconut palm trees. Even during raining season a great place to be. Temperature of 32 degrees Celcius. (90 ºF). Once a day a speedboat brings visitors to the island. About 10 tourist a day will visit the island during raining season. Many resort are also closed. You will get that Robinson Crusoe feeling when you explore uninhabited beaches of this pretty island. Photo of this Hermit crab taken on the unspoiled Aow Pra beach north of Koh Mak.

Koh Mak is een redelijk groot eiland dat ligt tussen Koh Chang en Koh Kood maar dan veel rustiger dan eilanden als Phuket, Ko Samui en ook Ko Chang. Je komt hier om te relaxen in je hangmat en van de stralende zee te genieten. Je kunt prima snorkelen bij koralen en languit liggen op helderwitte stranden. Koh Mak ligt met amper 2.000 bewoners in de beschermde Koh Chang Marine Park archipelago in de provincie Trat. Het is het derde grootste eiland van de provincie met een oppervlakte van amper 16 km². Koh Mak heeft een omtrek van 27 kilometer. De archipel telt 52 eilanden die verspreid liggen over een oppervlakte van 650 km². Het eiland kan je het best ontdekken per voet, fiets of kano. Er zijn nog ongerepte stranden op tropische eiland Koh Mak waar je zeker een Robinson Crusoe gevoel krijgt. Een strand waar niet elke schelp een schelp schijnt te zijn. De heremietkreeft is bekend door het gebruik van een lege schelp, meestal een slakkenhuis, als bescherming voor het weke achterlijf. Foto genomen op het nog ongerepte Aow Pra strand aan de stille noordkant van het eiland Koh Mak.
