La propiedad — Happy Days
Happy Days is a straightforward three-star hotel a short walk from Trat’s central market. The lobby feels like a functional pit-stop: tiled floors, a reception desk with a stack of local maps, and a faint smell of lemongrass. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a clean room and a decent breakfast before heading to the islands — not a destination in itself.
Crónicas de Trat
Trat was a small coastal settlement until the late 19th century, when French colonial forces occupied it briefly during the Franco-Siamese crisis. The city’s old wooden shophouses along the main streets—many still occupied—date from that era and hint at its trading past. After the construction of Highway 3 in the 1960s, Trat became the mainland gateway to Koh Chang and the surrounding islands. Today it mixes provincial Thai life with transit traffic: a place of seafood stalls, gem dealers, and buses to the ferry piers.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Trat →Los mejores meses
December and January offer cooler temperatures (25–30°C), low humidity, and calm seas for island ferries — crowd levels are manageable outside Christmas week. February also works well before the heat builds.
Peak / Festival Surge
April (Thai New Year/Songkran) is the busiest, with domestic tourists flooding the city and ferries. Hotel rates can jump 30–50% above low-season prices. The event drives local water fights and temple visits.
La temporada del hombro
November and March give nearly good weather with lower room rates and far fewer tourists. In March you get the tail-end of the cool season with still-clear conditions.
Tiempo y embalaje
July is deep in the rainy season — expect heavy downpours most afternoons and high humidity (85%+). Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket, quick-dry walking shoes, and a power bank for possible power cuts.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Trat
- The new Trat bus terminal (Bangkok–Trat route) opened in late 2023 on the bypass road, 6km from the centre — take a songthaew (10 THB) or taxi (150 THB) into town.
- The Centre Point ferry pier renovations finished in early 2025, now with better waiting areas and toilets; check schedules as departures can be delayed in heavy rain.
- Local government has banned single-use plastic bags at markets since June 2025 — bring a reusable shopping bag for food or souvenirs.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Happy Days, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4 at the back of the building (away from the street). These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but low enough for quick stair access if the lift is slow — common in 3-star hotels in Trat.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (street level) and rooms facing the main road — Trat provincial roads carry motorbike and truck noise from early morning (5–6am) until late evening. Also skip rooms directly next to the lift shaft on any floor: older lifts can be noisy.
Best views
Backside rooms on floors 3–4 likely look over local rooftops or small gardens — no city view from Trat's low-rise centre, but quieter and more private. Side-facing rooms may see a soi (lane) with local life.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 — above the lobby and ground-level activity, but not high enough to suffer roof-top equipment noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise sources: Trat provincial road traffic (trucks, motorbikes) on the front side; early-morning market activity if near a market (common in Trat town); lift motor hum on any floor next to the shaft.
Insider tips
1) Check in after 2pm to request a room on the back side — front desk may accommodate if they're not full. 2) Bring earplugs: even 'quiet' rooms can get sudden motorbike noise in Trat; a small fan also helps mask it.
- 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
💡 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.
