La propriété — Banmae resort
Banmae Resort is a budget-friendly three-star property on the outskirts of Trat town, offering clean, tiled rooms around a modest pool. It feels like a functional base for travellers catching ferries to the islands, not a destination in itself. The lobby is simple and air-conditioned, with a small reception desk and a few chairs. It suits backpackers and families who want a no-fuss, affordable overnight stay near the bus and ferry terminals.
Chroniques de Trat
Trat began as a small coastal trading post during the Ayutthaya period, later clashing with French colonial forces who occupied it from 1904 to 1906. It was returned to Siam in exchange for territory in Laos, cementing its role as a frontier province. The town centre still shows wooden shophouses from the early 20th century, mixed with modern concrete buildings. Today, Trat is known as the gateway to Ko Chang and other islands, with a laid-back, provincial feel and a strong gem-trading history.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Trat →Meilleurs mois
December and January offer cool, dry weather and calm seas for island hopping, with lower humidity than the peak of March.
Peak / Festival surge
April is the hottest month and also the start of the rainy season, but Songkran (Thai New Year) in mid-April draws crowds for water festivals; hotel prices rise modestly but rarely spike because Trat itself is not a main celebration site.
La saison des épaules
May and June are shoulder season: heavier rain but fewer visitors, significant hotel discounts (20-30% off peak), and still many sunny days between showers.
Météo & Emballage
July is in the wet season, with short heavy downpours most afternoons. Pack a waterproof jacket and a dry bag for electronics, and always carry a compact umbrella.
Briefing de la ville — Trat
- The new Trat bypass road (Route 3156) opened in late 2024, cutting travel time from the town centre to the Laem Ngop ferry pier by about 15 minutes, but it has no streetlights yet—drive carefully at night.
- The 'One Tambon One Product' market near the Trat City Pillar Shrine has expanded to weekends, offering local fruit wines and woven baskets that make good gifts.
- July 2026 is forecast to have above-average rainfall, so check ferry schedules daily; the Koh Mak and Koh Kood routes may cancel if winds exceed 30 knots.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Banmae resort, 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 building (away from the street). These upper floors get more cross-ventilation and less ground-level noise from passing motorbikes and taxis.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor – they're at street level and prone to traffic noise from Trat's main road. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft (usually ends of corridors) as the mechanism hums at night.
Best views
Likely side or rear views of the town rooftops and distant hills – Trat is low-rise, so no sea or river view from a 3-star in the centre. Ask for a room facing the inner courtyard (if one exists) for greenery.
Quietest floors
3rd to 4th floor – high enough to dodge street rumble but low enough to escape roof-top machinery noise if the building has one.
🔊 Noise notes
Street-facing rooms catch motorbike and songthaew traffic until late evening. The hotel is on a main road in Trat town, not a dead-end lane.
Insider tips
1) If you're arriving by car, park around the side or ask for a spot away from the main road to avoid early-morning engine noise. 2) Check in after 2pm – the reception may be slow and you want a freshly cleaned room, not one that's been sitting.
- 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

Your arrival at Banmae resort
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 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.
