Ferry from Koh Kood to Koh Mak

About Koh Kood

In the Gulf of Thailand’s northeast corner lies Koh Kood, a Thai island regarded as one of the country’s most beautiful. Unlike the bustling tourist hubs of the Phi Phi Islands and Bangkok, Koh Kood offers a relaxing setting where you can snorkel, kayak or simply laze on a hammock to your heart’s content. Picture-postcard beaches comprising powdery white sand, overhanging palms and perfectly clear water await sun-seekers, but venture inland through the colourful jungle and you’re likely to stumble across beautiful waterfalls and refreshing plunge pools, so there’s plenty to see on this stunning island. Koh Kood’s port offers high-speed routes to the neighbouring island of Koh Mak and to Laem Sok on the Thai mainland. With frequent crossings provided every week, it is well connected to the rest of the country.

About Koh Mak

Koh Mak is a small Thai island of Trat Province in the Gulf of Thailand, close to the Cambodian border. Measuring only 16-square-kilometres and boasting secluded beaches devoid of bustling tourist hotspots, Koh Mak is the ultimate island getaway. The sandy shorelines are world-beaters and the waters offer some of the finest snorkelling and diving spots in the country. Away from the picturesque beaches lies an idyllic Buddhist temple in the heart of the jungle, as well as 3 fishing villages which are well worth visiting, too. Koh Mak is a useful stop-off point before sailing to the popular island of Koh Kut to the south, with frequent high-speed crossings departing from the pier on the southeast coast. The mainland is also within easy reach by ferry, making Koh Mak a great departure point for exploring some of Thailand’s top destinations.
