13. Koh Mak – Thailand
In the east part of the Gulf of Thailand lies a closely guarded secret. Koh Mak is the place for people looking to get away from the wild parties of Thailand’s popular islands, Koh Phangan and Samui. It’s an island of tranquility, empty beaches, and peace.
Koh Mak has a population of around 300 people who take sustainability very seriously, with many resorts planting their own food and using solar panels for electricity. From there, you can take a short boat ride to see the barking deer at Koh Kradat Island.
