Description
Possibly the best resort on the island, Baan Koh Mak is a collection of small white concrete bungalows circled around a small hand-built lagoon. Pleasantly decorated, they have an open and light airy feel. Two styles are available, and although they are priced the same, one version is larger, with a front that opens out and extra windows. All have private bathrooms with a cold shower and western toilet, as well as a brightly painted front door. The beach cafe serves tasty, decently priced Thai and western food, and other services include beach trips, motorbike, windsurf and kayak rental. The staff are extremely friendly and will no doubt enhance your stay, unlike many of the other resorts on the island.

Fan Bungalows not shown -

FYI: If you book a fan only bungalow during high season it is 700 B. Note that it will not be one of the concrete bungalows shown, it will be a basic wooden bungalow at Koh Mak Cottages, right next door, which is fine, but just note you won't be getting the colorful concrete version with nice plants, etc.. The beach here is great and if you windsurf they have tons of windsurfers for rent. Good cheap food is served at Baan Ko Mak and in the restaurants on the street behind the resort. Bring your own sunblock as its waaay expensive on the island. If you land at the Koh Mak Resort Jetty via speedboat, they will call Baan Koh Mak to pick you up with a truck. Also note this is a sleepy island, so if you want raging parties go elsewhere. Good snorkeling and diving nearby at ko rung.

Monkey Island
Ao Kao, Ko Maak
Monkey Island Resort is run by the Monkey Shock Thai restaurant chain of the same animal moniker based in Bangkok. Bungalows are attractively built and furnished, but frankly, the high season price of 1,700B for a basic hut with cold shower is outrageous, no matter how stylishly done. Basic... more
Baan Chai Lay
Ao Kao, Ko Maak
With only four beach front villas and a couple of rooms at the back, this miniature resort is probably one of the most attractive places to stay, in main because of its great location.
