Sawadee as they say in Thailand – Hello! Welcome to Koh Mak, one of Thailand’s best kept secrets. Here you’ll find a selection of hotels and tourist accommodation nestling close to some simply stunning beaches. Good Time Resort, a wonderful Thai style Koh Mak Resort lies on a slope amongst lush tropical gardens within walking distance from the two most popular pristine white sand beaches.
A stay on Koh Mak can be a once in a lifetime experience. Away from all the fuss of the mainland it’s possible to bathe yourself in a sea of tranquility. Britain’s Sunday Times included Koh Mak on its most beautiful beaches in the world list in 2006, yet the island still remains unspoiled. This is certainly down to the National Marine Park which surrounds the island and which restricts what development can be undertaken
The accommodations at Good Time Resort are beautiful traditional Thai-Houses or two/three story Thai-style Villas with sea view. These houses and villas are remarkably affordable for their size and comfort. For travellers on a budget there are also small rooms available.
This family friendly resort is ideal for a relaxing or romantic holiday whilst letting all the stress flow away in the Good Time Spa. The restaurant has an amazing panoramic view of the island making it perfect for those seeking a romantic dinner or some quality time with the family. You can spend your days near the Good Time pool, walking on one of Koh Mak’s secluded white sand beaches or explore the Island and its neighbours on one of the many guided tours.
Life on Koh Mak is simple, safe (crime doesn’t really exist) and very peaceful. Bear these few tips in mind and you are sure to have the best holiday. ATMs and credit card facilities tend not to exist outside of the hotels and you’ll have to travel to Koh Change (probably a round trip that will take half a day) to cash traveller’s cheques. As a rule of thumb, cash is king. Good Time Resort will allow you to pay by credit card.
In the 21st century the environment is on everybody’s mind nowhere more so than on Koh Mak. Being at the centre of one of Thailand’s National Marine Parks it becomes even more important. While you are on the island you are encouraged to consider the environment as much as possible.
We at Good Time Resort go a step further by offering a Green Discount. If you avoid air con (use the fan instead), have your bed sheets changed every five days and towels every three, take your plastics back to the mainland and make a small donation to the local kindergarten then we will discount your bill by 500 Thai Bhat a day. This is a simple proposition that shows how warm the people of Koh Mak and The Good Time Resort really are.
Goodtime Resort is best suited to families and quiet couples. There is no nightlife to speak of on Koh Mak , and guests who require night entertainment would be better suited staying on Koh Chang or in Pattaya.
We are a family run resort and the English and German speaking manager will assist you during your stay at Good Time Resort. We hope to see you soon in Koh Mak and will make sure your holiday will be an unforgettable experience in one of the most unique Thailand resorts.
Good Time Resort, Koh Mak
