Yes, we rent our motorbikes for 250 ฿ per day, no need to leave us your passport or deposit – just pay at the end of your stay.
Unfortunately we do not have a card machine at our guesthouse and ask that either pay cash on arrival or through our online booking system.
Also please be aware that on our small island home, we only have one ATM which is not refilled often so please prepare for this eventuality when you travel to us.
We are a small but social bunch here on Koh Mak – while there are only 300 people living here, what you can expect is a truly authentic Thailand experience full of smiles and a conscious connection to nature. With this in mind, we are an eco conscious island with no motorised water vehicles, few cars and no 711 or big resorts. The roads are often quiet, beaches empty and a few places in the evening to gather and share a drink under the moonlight.
While this is the perfect island for a picturesque beach retreat, we do warn you that while our beaches are empty of noisy tourists, they are the home to sandflies which for some unlucky people, cause a very itchy reaction which can last up to a week. Although they don’t seem to like the high season heat or low season wind, we do advise that you layer coconut oil over your sunscreen to avoid them penetrating your skin. Other than this small inconvenience, our island community welcomes you and we have plenty of activities to keep you occupied and guarantee you the perfect retreat in paradise.
