About the Makathanee Resort Koh Mak
The Makathanee Resort is located directly on Baan Yai Beach on Koh Mak, one of the quieter and less touristy islands in the Trat region of eastern Thailand. The resort offers a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere and is ideal for travelers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of more popular islands like Koh Chang or Koh Samui. Its beachfront location is its greatest advantage: guests can enjoy the calm, clear waters and the relaxed lifestyle for which Koh Mak is known, right at their doorstep.
Guests can expect uncomplicated and comfortable accommodations nestled in a tropical garden, complete with an outdoor pool, on-site restaurant, and bar. The atmosphere is more relaxed than luxurious, making the resort a great choice for couples, solo travelers, and anyone who values a convenient location. The resort is open 24/7, so arrivals at unusual times are usually possible.
Koh Mak is best visited between November and April, when the Gulf of Thailand is dry and the sea is calm. The island has limited infrastructure, so it's advisable to buy all necessary supplies before arrival. Ferries generally depart from the mainland pier in Laem Ngop, Trat. Early booking is recommended during peak season, especially around Thai holidays and over Christmas and New Year, as availability on the island is significantly reduced.

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.
