The Mak Trat

The Mak Trat sits on Koh Mak, a small and relatively undeveloped island in Trat province, making it an appealing choice for travellers seeking a quieter alternative to the busier shores of nearby Koh Chang. The property holds a strong reputation among guests, reflected in consistently positive feedback, and serves as a comfortable base for exploring the island's beaches, clear waters, and laid-back atmosphere. Guests can expect a welcoming environment suited to those looking to unwind rather than party. The resort's setting on Koh Mak means the surroundings are generally peaceful, with easy access to the kind of unhurried island life that the area is known for. The property caters to a range of travellers, from couples to families, looking for a comfortable stay without the crowds typically found on larger Thai islands. Good to know: the property operates daily from 10:00 to 21:00, so travellers arriving outside those hours should plan accordingly and arrange transfers or check-in logistics in advance. Koh Mak is accessible by ferry from the mainland pier near Trat, and the journey itself adds to the sense of escaping the everyday. Visiting during the dry season, roughly November through April, gives the best chance of calm seas and sunny weather.
