Das Eigentum — Little Eden
Little Eden is a modest three-star in central Trat with a small garden and a saltwater pool, offering a calm base for travellers heading to or from the islands. The lobby feels like a bright, tiled guesthouse with friendly staff, a noticeboard of ferry schedules, and a faint hum of ceiling fans. It suits backpackers and mid-budget families who need clean, reliable rooms and a quiet courtyard to repack bags before the Koh Chang ferry.
Chroniken von Trat
Trat began as a small coastal trading post under the Ayutthaya kingdom, later ceded to French Indochina in 1904 then returned to Siam in 1907 in exchange for territory in Cambodia. The old town along the Trat River retains wooden shophouses from the late 19th century, reflecting Chinese and Vietnamese merchant influence. During the Vietnam War, Trat served as a R&R stop for American troops, leaving a legacy of guesthouses and bars. Today its identity is that of a transit hub for eastern Gulf islands, with a working fishing port and a lively weekend market selling local fruit and seafood.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Trat-Guide →Die besten Monate
December to February: dry, cool mornings around 22°C, clear skies, and low humidity make island hopping and city walks comfortable with moderate tourist numbers.
Peak / Festival Surge
April and December: Songkran (Thai New Year, mid-April) brings water fights and high domestic travel; December sees European holidays. Hotel prices double, especially near the pier. Songkran and New Year's Eve drive the surge.
Budget Schulter Saison
March and June: March is hot (35°C+) but dry and cheap; June starts the wet season with short afternoon downpours, thin crowds, and rooms up to 40% cheaper than peak.
Wetter & Verpackung
Trat is one of Thailand's wettest provinces, with sudden heavy showers even in the dry season. Pack a lightweight rain jacket or a foldable umbrella as a non-negotiable, plus a sarong to dry off after pool or beach dips.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Trat
- Trat's new bus terminal (updated 2025) now serves all long-distance routes from Bangkok and neighbouring provinces; the old city bus station closed in early 2026.
- The Centre Point Pier reopened in March 2026 after a six-month renovation, now with better seating and a direct minibus service to Little Eden—check if this line still runs.
- Water levels in the Trat River are unusually low in July 2026 due to a delayed monsoon; riverboat trips to Koh Mak may be cancelled.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Little Eden, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor, away from the main road. These upper floors reduce street noise and offer a bit more privacy without needing the lift (floors 1-2 are fine, but higher is better).
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (especially facing the street) and any room near the lift shaft or ice machine. The bar area (if open late) can also generate noise on the first floor.
Best views
Rooms facing away from the main road (back of the building) give you a view of the garden/courtyard, not the street. The front rooms overlook the road and are noisier.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. These are far enough from street level and common areas to stay peaceful.
🔊 Noise notes
Trat's main road has constant traffic (motorbikes, trucks) until late evening. The hotel's entrance is on a busy stretch, so ask for a room off the street. Also: the lift can be clunky; a top-floor room means less foot traffic nearby.
Insider tips
1. If you drive, park in the rear lot (quieter and safer for your vehicle). 2. Check-in can be quickest around 2-3pm; avoid late afternoon when groups arrive. 3. Ask for a room with a window that opens (some cheaper 3-star rooms in Thailand have sealed windows).
- 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.

Top-Attraktionen in Trat
💡 Visit late afternoon when the light catches the gold trim. No entry fee, but polite to leave a small donation (20-40 baht) for incense.
💡 Bring insect repellent after dusk – mosquitoes are active. Stop at the floating noodle boat (50 baht) near the end of the promenade.
💡 Go before 7am for the best dried squid and durian chips. Bring small change – stallholders rarely accept cards.
💡 Ring the bell once for luck – locals say it brings safe travel. Temple dogs are friendly but ignore them if they bark.
💡 Call ahead to check if the English labels are in place – they rotate exhibits. The garden has a free map of local waterfalls.
