Baan Ing Kao
Forgotten hideaway for the reclusive
North-western end of Ao Kao, Ko Maak
Trat Province
Description
Over a hugely steep hill at the northern end of Ao Kao beach it's often the forgotten resort of Ko Maak, despite having been here for years. The stunning secluded bay is nestled alongside an old fishing village which provides scenes from yesteryear. The basic but respectable huts are set onto the steep hillside thus offering good views as well as some decent shade. The small restaurant attached gets good reviews, and the management can organise local boat trips to nearby reefs and islands.

basic but very secluded -

lovely spot - a bit like a homestay the thai fishing family are around a lot, staff/family ( I couldnt work out which was which) were friendly. The food isnt always great but generally fine , being away from it all really makes up for it. Loved the fact that virtually no one else there - I guess it might get too much if all the bungalows are full. Travelfish is making this place more and more popular.
