Koh Mak: Un gioiello nascosto di Trat

Situata nella provincia di Trat, Koh Mak è un'isola di 16 chilometri nota per le sue belle spiagge e l'acqua straordinariamente chiara. Prima della proprietà tailandese, l'insediamento su quest'isola iniziò alla fine del 19° secolo, quando un funzionario cinese la utilizzò come piantagione di gomma e cocco. Koh Mak ha anche ricevuto molti riconoscimenti, essendo uno dei luoghi più sicuri al mondo ed è stata distinta dal Sunday Times del Regno Unito come una delle 10 isole più belle e sconosciute.
