Baan Ao Kao KohMak

Baan Ao Kao Koh Mak is a lodging property situated on Koh Mak, a small and relatively undeveloped island in Trat Province, southeast Thailand. The resort sits within the Ao Kao area, one of the island's most scenic stretches of coastline, making it a suitable base for travellers seeking a quieter alternative to the busier Koh Chang. With a solid guest rating reflecting consistent visitor satisfaction, the property appeals to those who prioritise a laid-back atmosphere over resort-town crowds. Guests can expect a relaxed island setting characteristic of Koh Mak, where the pace is slow, the beaches are generally uncrowded, and the surrounding waters are calm and clear. The Ao Kao area in particular is known for its shallow bay and gentle conditions, making it well suited to swimming and leisurely beach stays. The resort's name — "Baan" meaning home in Thai — suggests a more intimate, guesthouse-style experience rather than a large-scale hotel operation. Practical note: Koh Mak is accessible by ferry from Laem Ngop pier on the mainland, with journey times varying by boat type. As the island has limited facilities compared to larger Thai islands, travellers are advised to plan ahead for essentials. Booking accommodation in advance is recommended during the high season, which typically runs from November through April when sea conditions are most favourable.
