⚲ KO MAK

 

Your Romantic Eco-Hideaway in Thailand

 

If you’ve ever dreamt of escaping the busy world and sinking your toes into soft sand while time gently slows to the rhythm of the waves, then Lazy Day The Resort Ko Mak might just be your dream come true.

 

 

Tucked away on one of Thailand’s last true island secrets, Lazy Day is an oasis of calm and deceleration, where life is lived barefoot, sunsets paint the sky in watercolor shades, and the biggest decision of the day is whether to nap in a hammock or paddle out in a kayak.

 

A Hidden Gem for Couples & Nature Lovers - with only 13 spacious bungalows spread across a lush, lovingly maintained beachfront garden, Lazy Day offers something that’s becoming increasingly rare: privacy, peace, and personal space. Each bungalow is thoughtfully designed with comfort and simplicity in mind—think wooden interiors, spacious living areas, separate bathroom and toilet, and wide verandas with panoramic sea views.

 

 

The resort's eco-friendly approach shines through in its careful integration with nature: no towering buildings, no loud nightlife—just swaying palms, turquoise waters, and the sound of the waves. For romantic souls, there’s a timeless charm here. Wake up to the soft rustle of the sea breeze, sip your morning coffee overlooking the glimmering Gulf of Thailand, and let the island work its slow magic on you.

 

 

 

While many come to Lazy Day to switch off and slow down, there’s also plenty to explore and experience for those who like a sprinkle of adventure.

• Snorkeling right off the beach: Step into the shallow waters and discover a colorful underwater world teeming with tropical fish. The beach is partly rocky, making it ideal for spotting marine life close to shore.
• Free kayaks: Glide across the calm waters and explore the nearby coves and secret beaches. Don’t miss the golden-hour paddle—it’s pure magic.
• Island hopping: Ko Mak sits amidst a cluster of islands in the Trat Archipelago, making it the perfect base for boat trips to neighboring Ko Kham, Ko Rayang, or even the larger Ko Kood.
• Cycling around Ko Mak: The island itself is small and traffic-free, ideal for exploring by bicycle through coconut groves, rubber plantations, and sleepy fishing villages.
• Dining: Fresh, Local, and Full of Flavor
• Lazy Day’s à la carte breakfast is often one of the highlights for guests—fresh fruits, eggs any style, pancakes, and excellent Thai coffee, all served with that priceless sea view.
• For lunch and dinner, the resort’s beachfront restaurant serves a mix of Thai classics and Western comfort food, with an emphasis on fresh seafood and local ingredients. Insider tip: try the grilled fish with lemongrass and the spicy papaya salad—simple, authentic, and delicious.

 

Insider Tip : And for a truly romantic evening? Ask the staff to set up a private candlelit dinner on the beach. With just the sound of the waves and the glow of lanterns, it’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after you’ve left the island.
