Good Time Resort and Koh Mak Villa & Rayang Island Resort, Koh Rayang

Koh Mak and Koh Rayang: Pearls in the Gulf of Siam

Background information: Koh Mak is one of Thailand's secret treasures, situated in the Marine National Park. The island is 16 km² and is located in the Gulf of Siam, between Koh Chang and Koh Kut.

To take advantage of Koh Mak's tropical climate, the best time for travelling is between November and March. While Europe is cold and wet, one can escape to Koh Mak with blue skies and temperatures reaching 35 C.  

The island is ideal for a relaxing stress-free break; one can spend the time swimming,  sunbathing, walking or reading a good book. For the more adventurous traveller, Koh Mak also offers a range of activities including diving, snorkelling, windsurfing and mountain biking. There are opportunities to explore the other islands with organized tours or independently (boat charter).

Koh Mak is the biggest privately owned island in Thailand with over 90% of the island still being owned by members on one extended local family. Since 1987 the island has slowly developed to accommodate visitors.

Koh Mak has about 700 inhabitants, 10,000 palm trees, 1 temple, 14 resorts, a few shops, 3 fisherman's villages, 1 primary school, 1 island hospital, 2 diving schools and a market.

Although the island is still largely undiscovered, it has a very good infrastructure including 24 hour electricity and easy access to the mainland and Koh Chang by regular ferry services.

Good Time Resort

Good Time Resort is a small resort located on top of a small hill between two beautiful sandy beaches, called Suan Yai beach and Sai Khao beaches.  These are both around 2 minutes walk from the resort.

Rayang Island Resort

Rayang Island Resort is a 15 bungalow resort on the small island of Koh Ranang which lies just over 1km off the west coast of Koh Mak.  This is the only resort on the island and has 15 bungalows, some with one bedroom, others with two.  The resort has electricity but the bungalows don't have airconditioning.  A fan and sea breeze are all that you need to sleep comfortably.
