I want to go to Koh Mak next week after the holiday. Anyone there or on Koh Chang can tell me what the weather is doing now? Has the rain stopped? Is it once a day or all day?

Also, can you get there from BKK? I guess most of the flooding is North of BKK, but does it affect the roads going East along the coast?

And if anyone has any special recommendations about accommodation...

Thanks!

3 of my friends got back from Koh Chang yesterday evening and said the weather had been amazing for the last 5 days!!! Really sunny!!!

You might want to look for a package trip to Kho Mak, where the hotel/resort also provides transportation from Trat.

In a slow boat it takes about 2 hours from Trat.

Kho Mak is one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand, but don't tell anybody!

Just got back from a week in the Koh Mak area last night and we only had a couple of storms at night in the 8 days we were there. During the day it was really nice and sunny. No problems on the drive back to Bangkok either.

It's very quiet at the moment, even for Koh Mak and there's very few people about. Alot of places are doing building work and getting ready for the peak season and alot of places seem to have shut as it's so quiet. But you can get some great deals on accomodation as it's so slow.

The slow boat is 2 hours, but the speed boat from Leam Ngob is only 45 minutes (450 baht).
