It’s so deep in the jungle. The side of the road is scary. No signal in my phone, not even a house on the road. But the tree was stunning, huge but gave me some kind of anxiety feeling.

Please don’t follow as a google map , you might get lost , after following as suggested for a while , heading to small road you must searching for the green sign at the right site “ MAKAYAK-SAIYAI” then turn right and it’s would take a ride for 3 mins then you have arrived at SAIYAI first then go by foot for 1 min then arrived at big tree MAKAYaK need to go straight maybe 2 mins from Saiyai then walk for 1 min If you heading to jungle and walk more then 5 mins it’s possible that you get lost like us 🤣
MakaYuk is a seriously awesome tree. Biggest I have ever seen or hugged. Super easy to get to with the new road. Just round the corner from Sai Yai it’s beautiful and slightly smaller friend. Spend time to sit here and be with this tree. Say hello. Give it a hug. Wonderful tree. Imagine all the people it’s met over the years.
The ancient Makha tree (Afzelia xylocarpa) on Koh Kood is an incredible natural landmark. Believed to be centuries old, it stands deep in the forest with a presence that feels both powerful and peaceful. In Thai culture, large Makha trees are often considered sacred and are respected as symbols of longevity and spiritual protection. The short walk to the site is easy, and the wooden walkway keeps the area natural and quiet. Standing beside the huge trunk is a humbling experience. A must-visit spot for anyone who wants to appreciate Koh Kood’s untouched forests and the cultural significance of Thailand’s great trees.
Mystical holy place where this immense huge tree says it all. It's a place of meditation and being grateful for what the nature gives to us. Difficult to find but once you discover it... unforgettable
