Das Eigentum — Burni Houses
Burni Houses is a relaxed, adult-focused guesthouse in central Trat, with concrete-and-wood bungalows arranged around a small pool and a leafy garden. The lobby is an open-sided wooden terrace with ceiling fans and a bar, giving it the feel of a low-key tropical lounge rather than a formal hotel. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, quiet base for a night or two before crossing into Cambodia or heading to the islands – not a resort, but genuinely well-run.
Chroniken von Trat
Trat was founded as a small trading port during the Ayutthaya period, later serving as a key outpost for French colonial interests in the 19th century – the city and surrounding islands were briefly annexed by France in 1904 before being returned to Siam in 1907 in exchange for territory in Laos. The old town retains wooden shophouses built by Chinese and Vietnamese merchants, alongside a few surviving French colonial villas. Today Trat is a quiet provincial capital whose economy hinges on the border trade with Cambodia at Hat Lek, rubber and fruit plantations inland, and as the mainland gateway to the Koh Chang archipelago. Its multicultural heritage is visible in the city's small Catholic cathedral, Chinese shrines and three mosques, all within a few blocks of each other.

Peak / Festival Surge

Wetter & Verpackung
Trat is one of Thailand’s rainiest provinces, with a monsoon season from June to October that can bring sudden, heavy downpours even on clear mornings. Pack a compact rain jacket or umbrella in your day bag, and always carry sunscreen and a sarong for coastal breezes – the sun burns fast here even when it’s overcast.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Trat
- The new boat pier at Laem Ngop (15 km from Trat) opened in early 2026, reducing ferry queues to Koh Chang and Koh Mak; Burni Houses can arrange a shared minivan transfer for about 150 baht per person.
- Trat’s weekend night market has moved from the old town to the municipal sports ground on Sukhumvit Road, with more food stalls and live music – open Friday to Sunday from 17:00.
- The city’s water supply has been under pressure this hot season; some guesthouses, including Burni Houses, advise guests to use tap water sparingly and buy bottled water for drinking.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Burni Houses, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (likely 3rd or 4th) facing away from the main road. The upper floors reduce street-level noise and may catch a breeze. In a 3-star hotel in Trat, these rooms are often cleaner and quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor near the reception or street entrance – they pick up lobby chatter, traffic from Trat’s main road, and possible kitchen smells at breakfast times. Side rooms overlooking a service alley can also be noisy at dawn.
Best views
Side rooms facing east or south may give a glimpse of greenery or local houses – no sea view, but more interesting than the main road. The hotel driveway or small garden side is your best bet.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and above (if the hotel has 3–4 floors) – less foot traffic and better sound insulation from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road noise from motorbikes and pickup trucks starts around 6am. If the hotel has a karaoke bar or open-air restaurant attached, expect late-night noise until 10–11pm.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on the highest floor possible and specifically request one not above the front entrance. 2. If you drive, check if the hotel has secured parking – in Trat, street parking can be tight and you’ll want to avoid leaving a rental car on the road overnight.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Umher zu kommen
Trat Town (Talad Mai Market) → Laem Sok Pier (drop-off, then taxi a short distance to resort)
💡 This bus is mostly used for island ferries, not the resort directly. Get off at the pier junction and take a motorbike taxi (20 baht) for the final 2 km. Ask locals to point 'Siam Beach' – it's a well-known bungalow strip.
Trat Airport → Trat Bus Station, then songthaew to Siam Beach Resort
💡 From the bus station, flag a white songthaew heading towards Klong Kloi – tell the driver 'Siam Beach'. Share the fare group-style; don't pay more than 40 baht per person.
Trat Town (Centre) → Siam Beach Resort
💡 Negotiate hard: 500–600 baht is fair. If you’re coming from the ferry pier (e.g. Koh Chang), try the shared minivan to the resort instead – about 250 baht per person.
Trat Airport (TDX) → Siam Beach Resort (Klong Kloi Beach)
💡 Book through the airport kiosk for flat rates. Avoid touts outside; meters are not used on this route. Shared vans cost half but wait for 6–8 passengers.
