The first bungalows for tourists were built around 2517 B.E. (1974) at Ban Ao Nid on the east of the island.However, tourism was not yet flourishing in this area, and transport and telecommunications were difficult, which put a halt to developments for some time.
Later in 2530 B.E. (1987), part of the beach areas of the island were developed into tourist attractions. Bungalows and resorts were built to serve Thai and foreign tourists properly. Now Koh Mak has several interesting tourist places such as:
Koh Mak Resort: Located at Ao Suan Yai, this resort has a long white sand beach along the whole bay, and faces the small island of Koh Kham. Ao Suan Yai is on the west side of Koh Mak. You have a distant view of Koh Chang, Koh Wai and Koh Kum from this spot.
Fantasia Resort: Located at Ao Suan Yai next to KohMak Resort.
CocoCape Resort : Next from Fantasia in the far end of Ao SuanYai, still under construction
Sam Marine Resort: located on Koh Rayang Nork, on the south-east of Koh Mak opposite Ao Na Nork. There is a white sand beach and bungalows at the foot of a hill.
T.K. Hut: located on Koh Mak at 'Suan Ban Yai' in the Ao Na Nork area. T.K. Hut is on the south-west of the island. It has a long white sand beach connected to Ao Ka-toeng and Ao Khao.
