Via Baan Ao Kao KohMak
Baan Ao Kao Koh Mak is a resort located on Koh Mak, a small and relatively untouched island in the Trat province of southeastern Thailand. Situated in the Ao Kao area, one of the island's most picturesque stretches of coastline, it's an ideal base for travelers seeking a quieter alternative to the busier Koh Chang. With consistently positive guest reviews reflecting visitor satisfaction, the hotel appeals to those who prefer a relaxed atmosphere to the hustle and bustle of a typical resort.
Guests can expect the relaxed island atmosphere of Koh Mak: a leisurely pace, mostly quiet beaches, and clear, calm waters. The area around Ao Kao, in particular, is known for its shallow bay and gentle waves, making it ideal for swimming and relaxing days on the beach. The resort's name – "Baan" means "home" in Thai – suggests a more intimate, guesthouse-like experience than a large hotel complex.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
