Das Eigentum — Tiger Hut
Tiger Hut is a quiet, low-key guesthouse set among shady trees just back from Hat Sai Khao beach. It feels more like a laid-back village compound than a hotel, with wooden bungalows, a small pool, and an open-air restaurant that spills into the garden. The vibe is unpretentious and functional — fine for budget-conscious travellers who want a clean room and beach access without any frills. Standing in the lobby, you smell salt air and hear cicadas; the staff are helpful but not hovering.
Chroniken von Trat
Trat city grew as a trading post on the route between Bangkok and Cambodia, its fortune tied to rubber and gemstones. After the 1909 Anglo-Siamese treaty fixed the border, Trat became a quiet provincial capital with a grid of shophouses and a few colonial-era public buildings. Contemporary Trat feels like a working frontier town: practical, with markets and transport hubs, rather than a tourist showpiece. Its cultural identity is shaped by a mix of ethnic Thais, Khmer descendants, and Chinese-descended merchants, visible in the city’s temples and food stalls.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Trat-Guide →Die besten Monate
December and January: dry, sunny, and cooler evenings; low humidity makes beach time comfortable. February also good but slightly warmer.
Peak / Festival Surge
April is peak domestic travel for Songkran (Thai New Year) and also the hottest month; hotel prices can jump 30-40% around 13-15 April. Foreign arrivals peak December to February. Trat itself sees few festival crowds but Koh Chang ferry queues grow.
Budget Schulter Saison
March and November are shoulder months: fewer tourists, lower prices (often 20% off high season), and still decent weather — March is dry but hot, November is the tail end of the wet season with clearing skies.
Wetter & Verpackung
Trat is one of Thailand’s wettest provinces, with rain possible even in ‘dry’ months; a lightweight packable rain shell is essential from May to October. Pack reef-safe sunscreen and a sarong for temple visits — short sleeves are fine, but cover shoulders and knees when entering a wat.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Trat
- The Trat-Pier road (Route 3148) has ongoing resurfacing near the city bypass; expect 10-15 minute delays if driving to the ferry in July 2026.
- A new direct bus from Bangkok’s Mo Chit terminal to Trat market launched in early 2026, cutting journey time to roughly 5 hours — check availability as it’s seasonal.
- Several beachfront restaurants on Hat Sai Khao closed for the 2025 rainy season; confirm ahead if you plan to eat out — the Tiger Hut’s own kitchen is reliable for basics.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tiger Hut, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the back of the hotel (side away from the main road). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise and the lift motor, while still being accessible by stairs if the lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Skip rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor near the front entrance or lift lobby—these catch early-morning traffic noise and people passing through. Also avoid rooms adjacent to the ice machine or laundry room, often placed near service areas in budget hotels.
Best views
No significant scenic view—the hotel sits on a commercial road in Trat town. Upper front rooms overlook the street and shops; back rooms face a neighbouring building or car park. Request a 'back-facing upper floor' for the least visual clutter.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest—further from the street and common areas, and less foot traffic.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road noise (Trat town's through traffic) is the prime source—trucks and taxis start by 6am. The lift is a basic model and thuds when stopping. Early-morning staff arrivals and cleaning carts on the ground floor add clatter from 7am.
Insider tips
1. The hotel has a small car park out front—arrive before 5pm to secure a space, else you'll park on the street (safe but tight). 2. Check in early if you can; the front desk closes by 10pm and late arrivals may need to call a posted number for access.
- 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.
