Koh Kham – Under Construction
A couple of years ago the private island of Koh Kham, just off the northwest of Koh Mak was sold. This beautiful little island was famous amongst travellers for the black volcanic boulders that littered the small white sand beach. Budget beach bungalows were also available at Koh Kham Resort …
The Far South East of Koh Chang ( & Koh Ngam )
Some photos taken around the Hat Yuthanavy area in the far south east of Koh Chang in late May.
On the way there I noticed a narrow dirt track and headed off to check it out and found a large area of land, around 30 acres, that was illegally cleared …
Koh Mak – Various Beaches and Views
I took a quick trip to Koh Mak last weekend to see what’s new and exciting down there. It’s still a laid back little island and although it is getting noticeably busier year by year it is still very easy to get away from the main beaches and either by …
The Kingdom of Somchai’s Affection
On Koh Chang there isn’t anything other than the odd patch of graffiti that could class as public art. It’s a bit of a creative wasteland. However, things are different down on Koh Mak.
Khun Somchai was an artist from the ‘Mon’ community who made his home on Koh Mak in …

There are a few small hamlets here occupied by sea gypsies living in ramshackle huts …
Sai Khao Beach, Koh Mak
The Southwest of Koh Mak, Ao Sai Khao. Most visitors to Koh Mak will stay in this area. A long expanse of sand covers the southwestern shore of the island leading several kilometres from Holiday beach resort at the north end to the now defunct Panorama Resort at …
Koh Wai
Koh Wai lies directly to the south of Koh Chang. It’s a popular stop for tour boats, and therefore can get quite busy at certain times of the day when a hundred tourists are deposited on the beach. Visit outside these times and you’ll have the place pretty much to …
Around Koh Mak
A few photos of Koh Mak which lies about 30 minutes by speedboat south of Koh Chang. It’s not a party island, the resort owners want to attract families and couples hence the lack of beer bars or karaoke joints.
This gallery added as Koh Mak was chosen by the …
Out On Our Boat
These photos were taken on two separate days in mid-November when I went out on our speedboat with a few people who had hired it for a day to go snorkelling. The weather was good, there were very few people around and, as you can see, some of the …
