Koh Mak is a very small island. You can only get to it by boat. Several companies run boats to the island. It is very laid back and quiet. The Big Easy is by far the nicest small resort on the island. Resort is used loosely. It is one of the few places that had its own restaurant, so it... More

Best place I have ever stayed. Wonderfull beach (best I´ve ever seen in Thailand), laidback, relaxed and friendly family atmosphere. Lovely food and very reasonably priced. Ask for recommondations and look out for when they have caught fresh squid for tempura :) Stayed in the family bungalow with my boyfriend and my mother, and we were all very happy -... More

My wife and I stayed at The Big Easy a few weeks ago now. My wife had previously stayed with some friends there and loved it - so we went back, this time just the two of us. Getting to Koh Mak is a bit of a challenge. You can get there using bus and speedboat from BKK, but we... More

My husband and I returned to the wonderful Big Easy for the 3rd time in January and loved it even more than ever! Paul, Noodang, her sister Dell and and their team looked after us fantastically in every way they could. The food was simply delicious again and the service was so impressive each and every time. The whole experience... More

Upon arrival to the Big Easy resort, what some may find as very hospitable we found a little overly hospitable to the point of intrusion into personal space.  We made our way to reception on our own and were greeted by one of the owners (the wife) and immediately it felt like that the ground rules were being set out...

We have visited Koh Mak before and spotted these bungalows while walking on the far end of the beach. We decided then that if we returned to Koh Mak we would stay there and so this time we did and feel like we definitely made the right choice for us. We should have stayed for 4 nights but ended up...

We stayed at the Big Easy for ten days in Oct-Nov and absolutely loved it! The bungalows are clean, very nicely furnished, spacious, and equipped with a modern air-condition. The bathrooms are beautifully designed. And each bungalow has french windows towards the sea and a large terrace. The restaurant is fantastic - Lao, the young chef, really makes the best... More

The Big Easy Resort is located on a nice, clean, white sand beach (good for swimming). The bungalows all with A/C are very nice. The breakfast and also the food in the restaurant was very good. The owner Paul is very friendly and helps you with everything (ie. pickup from the pier, booking trips, rent a bike or kajak). We... More
