Baanyai Beach Resort Koh Mak
Compare prices
Baanyai Beach Resort sits on Koh Mak, a small and relatively unspoiled island in Trat Province, close to the Cambodian border and accessible from the Koh Chang archipelago. The resort draws visitors looking for a quieter alternative to the busier islands in the Gulf of Thailand, with a setting that prioritises calm over crowds. Guests can expect a relaxed, intimate atmosphere typical of smaller island resorts in this part of Thailand. The beachfront location places visitors directly alongside the island's clear waters, and the resort's consistently strong guest feedback points to attentive service and comfortable accommodation. The surrounding area of Koh Mak is known for its unhurried pace, coconut plantations, and shallow turquoise bays, making it well suited to travellers who prefer low-key beach holidays over busy resort towns. Practically speaking, Koh Mak is most comfortably visited during the dry season, which typically runs from November through April, when seas are calmer and rainfall is minimal. Getting to the island requires a ferry or speedboat from the mainland piers near Trat, so travellers should plan transport connections in advance, particularly during peak season when boats can fill quickly. As no website is currently listed, prospective guests are advised to contact the resort directly or book through a reputable accommodation platform to confirm availability and current rates.
