Koh Chang, Koh Mak & Koh Kood Island Hopping

Picture jungle waterfalls on Koh Chang, a bicycle-paced night on tiny Koh Mak, then the powder beaches of Koh Kood. This Koh Chang, Koh Mak and Koh Kood island hopping route is the eastern Gulf triangle near Trat — quieter than Samui or Phuket, and it still bends entirely to your pace.

There’s no rigid schedule here. Think of the 5-day and 7-day versions below as loose packages to spark ideas. Want four nights on Kood and just a lunch stop on Mak? Prefer to fly into Trat and out via Laem Sok without looping back to Chang? Tell our Virtual Ticket Assistant your dates and preferences, and we’ll plan and book every leg around you.

Pick your pace

These are starting points, not fixed timetables — stretch or shorten any island as you like.

5-day taster

• Koh Chang — 2 nights. White Sand or Lonely Beach, a waterfall if you have the energy.
• Koh Mak — 1 night. House-reef snorkel and a bicycle loop of the island.
• Koh Kood — 2 nights. Quiet bays and a first taste of the furthest island.

7-day relaxed

• Koh Chang — 2 nights to land from Trat or Bangkok.
• Koh Mak — 2 nights — the eco middle stop most people skip and then wish they hadn’t.
• Koh Kood — 3 nights to actually slow down before the mainland ferry out.

Or tell the assistant your exact dates and we’ll tailor it — stay longer on the island you love and pick morning boats so you never lose an afternoon.

How long to spend on each island

Koh Chang is the gateway: biggest island, easiest mainland link, jungle interior and the widest choice of stays. One to two nights is plenty unless you want to hike. Explore more on the Koh Chang destination page.

Koh Mak is the missing link — small, low-rise and sitting between Chang and Kood, which is why this route goes via Mak rather than hoping for a thin direct boat. A night or two is enough. See things to do on Koh Mak.

Koh Kood is the prize at the end: less developed, excellent snorkelling and the natural place to linger. Give it two to three nights, then exit via Trat (Laem Sok) for the airport or Bangkok. More on the Koh Kood destination page.

When to go

The Trat islands are at their best November to April, with the calmest seas and the most inter-island catamarans and speedboats. May to October is the monsoon window — Chang stays reachable from the mainland, but Mak and Kood schedules can thin out or pause, so keep your plan flexible and we’ll book what’s actually running.

How to book your custom trip

Use the planner below to start a chat, or message us on WhatsApp. Share whether you’re flying into Trat or coming by bus from Bangkok, how many nights you’d like on each island, and whether you want to exit from Kood to the mainland or loop back. We’ll line up the best operators for each leg, arrange pier transfers, and book the whole route in one go — so all you have to do is turn up and hop aboard.
