About Ko Mak
Ko Mak is a small island of Trat province, Thailand. It is a subdistrict of Ko Kut district. The island is named after the areca nut, also known as the betel nut There are very few islands in Thailand which are still in the same hands as they were over a century ago. There are even fewer which have a written history covering this period. But Ko Mak is one such island. The extended family, descended from a royal tax collector named Luang Prompakdee, still owns 80% of the island and runs many of the resorts
