La propriété — Baan Klong Jao Homestay
Baan Klong Jao Homestay is a rustic wooden house on stilts along a quiet canal on Trat’s outskirts. The lobby is a breezy open terrace with hammocks and a few old photos, where the owner greets you by name. It’s basic but spotless: rooms have mosquito nets, ceiling fans and cold-water bathrooms. Best for budget travellers who want local character over comfort, and who don’t mind the 10-minute drive to town.
Chroniques de Trat
Trat started as a small fishing port and trading post on the Gulf of Thailand, part of the Ayutthaya kingdom from the 16th century. After the 1893 Franco-Siamese crisis, France occupied Trat for a decade before it was swapped back for Siamese territory in Cambodia. Its old town, still lined with Sino-Portuguese shophouses, reflects that French and Chinese merchant era. Today Trat is the quiet mainland gateway to Koh Chang and other eastern islands, with a slow, provincial feel.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Trat →Meilleurs mois
December and January: dry, cool, low humidity. Also February for fewer tourists but still fine weather.
Peak / Festival surge
Peak hotel month is December, driven by European winter escape and Christmas–New Year travel. Prices at Baan Klong Jao double to around 1,200–1,500 THB. The main events are Trat Fruit Festival (May/June) but that does not raise citywide prices much.
La saison des épaules
Late March and November are the best budget shoulder months. Rooms drop below 500 THB, the weather is still mostly dry, and Koh Chang ferries are less crowded.
Météo & Emballage
Trat’s climate is monsoon-tropical with a pronounced wet season from May to October: July brings daily sudden downpours. Pack a lightweight poncho and a dry bag for phone/wallet, plus sandals that dry fast.
Briefing de la ville — Trat
- New air-conditioned minibus services now connect Trat bus station to Koh Chang ferry piers every 30 minutes from 6am to 6pm, cutting waits during rain.
- The main road through Trat town (Route 318) has had flood-drainage works since April 2026; expect occasional lane closures and slow traffic near the roundabout.
- Trat’s wet-season durian harvest is running two weeks early in 2026, so July markets will have good supply at low prices—try the local 'Monthong' variety at the morning Talat Mai vendors.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Baan Klong Jao Homestay, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the middle floor (2nd or 3rd floor) at the back of the building, away from the street side. The rooms on the river-facing side tend to be cooler and quieter as they overlook the canal rather than the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor near the check-in area and the communal kitchen, as they can get noisy from foot traffic and breakfast prep. Also avoid any room facing the main street (Trat town road) due to scooter and car noise in the evening.
Best views
The best view is of the Klong Jao canal and the small wooden pier from a room at the back (canal side) on the 2nd or 3rd floor. You'll see longtail boats and mangroves.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest, especially rooms at the back of the building overlooking the canal.
🔊 Noise notes
Trat town roads have scooter traffic from early morning until late evening. The homestay's shared kitchen and dining area can generate conversational noise at breakfast (7-9am). Dogs from neighbouring properties sometimes bark at night.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (by 2pm) to secure a canal-facing room rather than a street-facing one. They don't assign rooms in advance. 2. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper—the canal has frogs and occasional boat engines at dawn.
- 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 →S’entourer
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.
