Koh Mak is a small tropical island in the Gulf of Thailand between Koh Chang and Koh Kood, known for its relaxed atmosphere, quiet beaches and unspoiled character. There are no large towns, shopping centres or busy nightlife districts here. Instead, you’ll find coconut plantations, small restaurants, local villages and roads that never feel busy.
Corsita is a good base for discovering the island at your own pace. Rent a bicycle, motorbike or golf cart, take a kayak, explore the beaches, or simply find somewhere quiet and spend the afternoon.
