Beschreibung
This is located in a secluded part of the small (16 km2) tropical island Koh Mak in the East side of Thai Bay. This resort consists of 10 bungalows located on the beach with nice, energetic sunrise, live coral reef.
I look for volunteers who would like to help us in the small tourist resort on Koh Mak island / Thailand in exchange for free accommodation.

Arbeit
PRESENTLY we have no vacancies. During the high season (December - April) we are usually fully booked with tourists, so we will not be able to accommodate volunteers. So, you are welcome to apply starting from the 1st of May 2026.
For the last few years, we have been participating in the coral recovery program, so my offer can be especially attractive for the volunteers who like sea life. Unfortunately, last year due to the heat wave most of our corals died. So, not much to do about them now but I still belive that we will start to plant new corals soon. Other than that, you are welcome to help us to clean the beach and keep the accommodation nice and tidy. There is also an active project to clean up trash on the island that they are welcome to join.
The cooking school is also nearby, so you can improve your cooking skills there. We have many customers from all over the world, so you are also welcome to socialize and improve their language skills. Additionally, there are some organic farms on the island that you can visit and help.
The place is managed by me and my Thai wife who is an animal lover. She spends about two hours every day preparing food for our 4 dogs and delivering it to the other 15 homeless dogs on the island everyday day. So, if you wish you can participate in this activity as well.
Please be aware that part of our envinromental tasks is keeping the beach clean. Sometimes you will have to work in the sun so you have to be ready and fit to do this kind of job.
Unfortunately, we have also had unpleasant experiences in the past with people who came here just to take advantage of free accommodation. These people treated helping us as a great sacrifice and it looks as if they didn't want to do anything with us or this place. So, if you are not an open-minded, honest, fit for an outdoor job, friendly, and communicative person don't apply. We don't want millennials here.

Michal and Riam are both hard and honest workers.
The agreement is to work 3 hours a day, this is well respected and they don't try to make you work longer.
Because of their hard work you get in the workflow and those 3 hours pass by in a whim.
Tasks include : beach cleaning, general cleaning, weeding and helping… read more
We stayed here for 1mnd. and had a great time! The place is a very cozy place where you really feel like you’re in the wilderness and the beach at the resort has great snorkeling!
One day we fished a big squid on the beach of the resort and Riam cooked it for us and the other Workawayers to eat. It was delicious, and such a cool… read more

First of all: the place is wonderful and the island is perfect if you need just a break from a long term journey or just from the chaos of cities.
The bungalow are really cosy and be right in front of the sea is priceless.

I stayed with Michal and Riam as a volunteer for two weeks, sharing accommodation with two other guys.
From the moment I met Michal, he gave me a great sense of calm, trust, and friendliness — and that’s exactly how he is. He and his wife Riam are lovely people, always kind and available.
Their resort is… read more
Our stay at here was generally very satisfying.
The tasks assigned to us included helping with breakfast preparation, cleaning the bungalows, gardening (e.g., collecting leaves on the beach), and some DIY work. These tasks were varied and not too demanding. Riam and Michal were patient,… read more

From the first day, I did have the impression that they were not happy here. So, they pointed out some issues regarding the bungalow (noisy fan and water leaking in the bathroom sink) and lack of drinking water provided by us. They also mentioned that probably they would… read more

The generous agreement is to work 3 hours (usually 8-11AM to avoid the hot sun) and then have the rest of the day free. This works well as you are given clear tasks every day and your free time is respected. The… read more
