KOH MAK ISLAND PRACTICE GUIDE
Island of Koh Mak
Pearl of Thailand

Imagine 16 kilometers of beaches, a crystal sea full of corals and tropical fish, and the most lush and wild nature. Then add the sun of Thailand and the smile of the people and, perhaps, you will have vaguely approached the beauty of Koh Mak. The Phi Phi Island, splendid islands of Thailand, as well as the scenery of the movie The Beach are certainly beautiful. But if you are looking for an entire coastline as beautiful as Di Caprio's small bay, then you are looking for Koh Mak. An island for an Oscar. As stated by the famous Sunday Times magazine, which in 2010 included the island of Koh Mak in the ranking of the 10 most beautiful places in the world. And above all, we add, still unknown to mass tourism!

Natura di Koh Mak
The small Koh Mak is a mainly flat island, with a gentle hilly stretch that never exceeds 150 m above sea level. This feature makes it unique among the other islands of the archipelago and will allow you to move easily both on foot and by bicycle.
Koh Mak is part of the Koh Chang archipelago, which has about 180 small islands, many of which are within marine reserves or natural parks. Its inhabitants, just over 400, live on fishing, cultivation of coconut palm and rubber. Only in recent years have they begun to devote themselves to tourist reception.
Your holidays on Koh Mak will therefore be in the midst of wonder. Long white sand beaches that slope gently into the green sea, coral reefs and a majestic rainforest (which covers almost 80% of the island) await you!
The development of tourism on Koh Mak began a few years ago with the construction of the first resorts and the island has immediately gained some success among travelers who prefer more sought after and quieter destinations to mass tourism. Moreover, thanks to the constant commitment of the institutions and the inhabitants of the island themselves, today it pursues an eco-sustainable development, which continues to preserve the splendor of its coastline and the hinterland. A special regulation of the island prohibits the manufacture of buildings over 3 stories high, prohibits the opening of Go Go Bars, the use of jet skis and the practice of other activities that could endanger the identity of island.
These regulations want to preserve the natural heritage of the place and defend what is in effect, a small tropical paradise. For this reason, choosing a holiday on Koh Mak also becomes synonymous with harmony with nature and responsible tourism.
