About the Baan Talay Hostel

Baan Talay Hostel is located on Walking Street on Koh Mak, a small, largely untouched island in Trat province that attracts travelers seeking a quieter atmosphere than the busier islands of the Gulf of Thailand. Although administratively part of the Koh Chang region, the hostel is situated on Koh Mak itself, known for its tranquil beaches, clear waters, and relaxed vibe – an ideal location for a hostel that has received top ratings from its guests.

The accommodation offers hostel-style rooms, making it ideal for budget-conscious travelers and those who appreciate a sociable, relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to its location on Walking Street, restaurants, shops, and the vibrant activity of the island's tourist center are easily accessible, while still allowing guests to enjoy Koh Mak's unique natural beauty.

    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.
