La propiedad — Eastique Hotel Koh Chang
Eastique Hotel Koh Chang is a straightforward, affordable base on the island's southeast coast. Its lobby is small and open-air, with tiled floors, a few rattan chairs, and a fan – no airs, just function. It suits backpackers and budget families who want clean rooms, a pool, and easy access to Bang Bao fishing village and its pier to the mainland. Expect simple Thai hospitality, not luxury.
Crónicas de Trat
Trat province has long been a trading crossroads, with Koh Chang historically a quiet fishing and coconut-farming island. The town of Trat itself was founded as a strategic port for trade with Cambodia, and its Old Town still shows shophouse architecture from the early 20th century. The island only became a major tourist destination after the 1980s, when the government declared part of it a national park to protect its rainforest and reefs. Today, its identity balances low-key, eco-conscious tourism with the slow rhythms of local life.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Trat →Los mejores meses
December to February: driest months, lower humidity, calm seas – ideal for beach days and snorkelling. Crowds are moderate but manageable, especially early in the new year.
Peak / Festival Surge
Mid-April: Songkran (Thai New Year) sees a flood of domestic tourists, pushing hotel prices up 30–50% and making roads congested. Events include water fights and temple ceremonies.
La temporada del hombro
March and November: better rates than peak months, still mainly dry weather, with fewer people. November catches the tail end of the rainy season but often clears up nicely.
Tiempo y embalaje
July is part of the southwest monsoon, so expect heavy afternoon showers and rough seas on the west coast. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and quick-dry sandals; leave the umbrella behind as many shops sell them cheaply.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Trat

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Eastique Hotel Koh Chang, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 2 through 4 facing away from the road (likely the rear or garden side). These mid-floors avoid street-level noise and any roof-top equipment, while still being easy to reach via stairs when the lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or reception, as they pick up foot traffic and front-desk noise. Also skip any rooms directly above or beside the lift shaft – clanking and motor hum can be audible, especially on floor 1.
Best views
Rooms on the road-facing side see Koh Chang’s main drag (Trat town view), but those on the rear side overlook quieter residential or garden areas. If you prefer daylight over scenery, go rear. If you want a sense of place, road side gives you local life without being full-on noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 2–4 are the quietest. Low enough to skip lift use, high enough to avoid street-level sound.
🔊 Noise notes
Trat town has moderate street noise – scooters and songthaews from early morning until late evening. The hotel is on a main road, so ground floor rooms will hear that. Also listen for air-con compressors; older units on lower floors can hum or rattle.
Insider tips
1) Parking is usually limited at 3-star town hotels – arrive by 3pm to snag a space. 2) If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs and request a rear-facing room at check-in – the staff are used to this request and can often reallocate on the spot.
- 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

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

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.
