Kayaking, snorkeling, cycling and hiking — slow adventures across a small, generous island.
Calm, shallow seas and a marine park on the doorstep — the reason most people come to Koh Mak.
One of the best ways to experience Koh Mak. Calm clear water and a scatter of offshore islets make for postcard paddling — Ao Suan Yai out to Koh Kham, or Ao Kao across to the Rayang islets.
Koh Mak sits inside the Koh Chang Marine Park — coral gardens at Koh Rang, plus HTMS Chang, Thailand's largest wreck dive. Koh Mak Divers and BB Divers are both PADI-certified and based on island.
Best sites are Koh Rang in the Marine Park, plus Koh Kham, Koh Pii at Ao Lom, and the Rayang islets. November to April brings the calmest water and clearest visibility.
SUP boards are available at Prompakdee, Koh Mak Resort, Ao Kao Resort and Baan Koh Mak. Calm mornings are ideal — wind picks up by midday.
Flat roads, shaded plantation tracks, and a quiet interior — slow movement, by design.
Drop-in group classes twice a day at Elite Fight Club — open-air ring, Thai trainers, beach pad-work sessions, packages with accommodation.
Two full-size hard courts at White Sand Beach Resort — one outdoor, one indoor (floodlit for evening play). Resident pro for lessons and hitting partners, racket and ball rental on site.
One of the best cycling islands in Thailand — flat terrain, shaded jungle trails, almost no traffic. A short loop links Ao Kao, Ao Suan Yai and the sunset viewpoint; the full island loop runs 18–24 km.
The interior is coconut and rubber plantation crossed by dirt tracks — flat, easy, and best on a mountain bike or scooter. Don't miss Laem Tukata viewpoint at sunset.
Several resorts run morning beach sessions and garden-pavilion classes. Ask at your resort or check kohmak.com for current providers.
