Koh Mak Information
Koh Mak: a quiet island in the Trat archipelago
This unknown little island lies in Trat Province and it is part of the Ko Chang archipelago. Sitting between the better-known islands of Koh Chang and Koh Kood, Koh Mak has stayed small-scale and low-rise, with coconut and rubber plantations covering much of the interior and a handful of villages spread along the coast.
Renting a scooter and getting lost at the cost of 27 kilometers is the best way to discover the island and its precious large white beaches. Koh Mak provides a serene atmosphere making it the ideal spot for travelers looking for some inspiration or the perfect place for families and couples who want a relaxing holiday.
Because the island is compact, most visitors settle into one bay and explore the rest on two wheels. Roads are quiet, distances are short, and it is easy to cross from one side to the other in a single afternoon.
How to get to Koh Mak
Koh Mak is reached by boat. There is no bridge and no airport on the island itself, so every arrival involves a pier on the mainland or on a neighbouring island. Travel to Koh Mak is booked as a single ticket on this site, and we currently list 13 routes bookable routes serving the island.
The island connects directly with Bangkok, Koh Chang, Koh Kood and Trat. Combined tickets from Bangkok pair a land leg to the coast with the sea crossing, so you book once rather than arranging each stage separately.
Operators serving the island include Boonsiri High Speed Ferries and Seudamgo. Availability, Boonsiri High Speed Ferries details, journey times and departure counts change by season and by day, so check the live results for your travel date rather than relying on a fixed timetable.
Ports and piers
Arrivals and departures on the island use its passenger piers, while mainland services run from the piers on the Trat coast. Island-to-island services connect with the piers used by Koh Chang and Koh Kood. The exact pier for your ticket is shown at the booking step, and it can differ between operators on the same route — worth checking before you arrange a taxi or a pick-up at either end.
Nearby transport connections
Trat is the main gateway on the mainland. It is the transfer point for onward travel along the eastern seaboard and towards Bangkok, and it is where most overland legs to the coast begin or end.
If you are travelling from the capital, see our Bangkok to Koh Mak options. Island-hoppers can compare Koh Chang to Koh Mak and Koh Kood to Koh Mak, and travellers starting on the mainland can check Trat to Koh Mak.
Popular routes to and from Koh Mak
- Bangkok to Koh Mak — the main long-distance connection, usually sold as a through ticket.
- Trat to Koh Mak — the shortest mainland approach, and the link most onward journeys pass through.
- Koh Chang to Koh Mak — a straightforward island-to-island hop within the same archipelago.
- Koh Kood to Koh Mak — the southern island connection, often combined with Koh Chang in one trip.
The same connections run in reverse, so you can build a multi-island itinerary and book each leg here. Fares start from ฿400 and vary by operator, class and date.
Practical travel information
A few things worth knowing before you travel:
- Book ahead in high season. Sailings to and from the islands fill up around Thai and international holidays.
- Check the sea legs carefully. Boat services on this coast are weather-dependent and seasonal; schedules published for your date are the ones to trust.
- Allow time between legs. If you are connecting from a land service to a boat, leave a buffer rather than booking the tightest possible transfer.
- Bring cash. The island is small and card acceptance is not universal, particularly at smaller guesthouses and beach restaurants.
- Read the conditions. Baggage allowance, check-in cut-off and change or cancellation terms are set by each operator and shown with the ticket.
Getting around once you arrive is simple: scooters are the standard option, and the island's modest road network means you rarely need anything faster.
What to see and do
The beaches are the main draw — long, pale and generally uncrowded, with calm water that suits families and swimmers who prefer gentle conditions. Sunset views differ depending on which coast you are on, so it is worth trying more than one bay.
Beyond the sand, the interior is a mix of plantations, small roads and village life, all easy to reach on a scooter. The waters around the archipelago are popular for snorkelling and diving, and the neighbouring islands make natural day trips or a next stop on a longer island-hopping route.
Evenings are quiet by design. This is a destination for slow days rather than nightlife, which is precisely what draws couples, families and repeat visitors back.

What are the tourist seasons ?
Phuket Ferry :
Phuket really just has two seasons, which are known as "high season" and "low season" (or "green season"). During the low season months (May- September), boat numbers are reduced. During the high season (October - April), boats to the surrounding islands are increased so you will have some more options.
Ferry Samui :
There are three distinct weather seasons on the tropical island of Koh Samui: the dry season (December until February), the hot season (March until August) and the rainy season (September until November).
Bali Ferry :
Bali actually has a variety of tourist periods, notably around the Balinese New Year, 15 December - 15 January, and 1 June - 30 September. During these high traffic periods, boats to the surrounding islands are increased so you will have some more options. The quieter periods are between 16 January - 30 April and 1 October - 14 December historically.
Will bad weather affect my travels?
Ferries are large and can usually operate in the rain, except in extremely bad weather. During storms or strong winds, the journey may take a little longer than usual.
Speedboats are more likely to be canceled than ferries. If a trip is canceled due to bad weather, you can choose to receive a refund or reschedule. Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip.
On rough days, we recommend bringing motion sickness medication and taking it about 20 minutes before boarding if you are prone to seasickness. Boat staff may also provide Dramamine upon request, but you will need to remain indoors during rough conditions. On sunny and calm days, the sun deck is open for passengers to enjoy the weather.
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
When will I receive my ticket confirmation?
After completing your online booking, your reservation will remain in “Pending” status until it is processed. Once confirmed, we will send your e-ticket via email. The process is usually very quick.
On the day of travel, please present your e-ticket to the ferry staff at the relevant booking counter. If you do not receive your confirmation within 24 hours, contact us immediately.
What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
