Calm waves slowly reach Ao Khao beach on Koh Mak, a tiny island in Trat. For those who want to avoid crowded places like the neighbouring island of Koh Chang, the island of Koh Mak is a great option where you can do nothing but rest. ISLAND HISTORYThe history of Koh Mak goes back to the period of King Rama V. It was a coconut plantation. It was at this time that Jakrapad Taveteekul, the great-grandson of Luang Prompakdi, developed part of his land to be Koh Mak Resort and built ten simple huts to welcome tourists. It was the first resort on Koh Mak before becoming one of the prominent resorts on the island today.
