MOO KOH MAK
Lying between Koh Chang and Koh Kood, about 40 kms from the mainland
is a group of 9 islands called the Moo Koh Mak.
Only
4 of these islands, including Koh Mak, Koh Kradad, Koh Kham
and Koh Rayang Nok are
occupied. Koh Mak,
with an area of only 16 square kilometers and a 27 kms coastline, is the
third largest island of the Marine Park. It has a flat terrain with
plenty of coconut and rubber plantations. The main attractions are the
long beaches and clear seawaters. There are only a few hundred
people living here,
most of them related. There are about 10 resorts mostly situated at the
northwest or southwest of the island.
The main pier to
Laem Ngob is the Ao Nid Pier, east of the island. Infrastructure is
limited but there is a road system that conveniently link up the island.
Ao Suan Yai and Ao Pra, to the northwest have the longest and most
beautiful beach where you can view Koh Raet, Koh Phee, Koh Kham as well
as the captivating sunset. The beach is lined with lazy coconut trees.
There are some fine restaurants here too. During low tide a sand dune
appears between Koh Mak and Koh Kham allowing you to walk across. There
is also Ao Khao on the southwest with fine beach, clear waters and
views of Koh Kood, Koh Rayang Nai, Koh Rayong Nok. There are some reefs
teening with plentiful of fishes and is a favourite site for the
anglers.
