La propriété — Ngamkho resort
Ngamkho Resort is a compact, family-run 3-star on Trat’s outskirts, set among dense tropical gardens with an open-air lobby that smells of frangipani. The USP is its saltwater pool and quiet, away-from-it-all feel a few minutes’ drive from central Trat. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, basic stay with good green space and don’t mind being outside the main town.
Chroniques de Trat
Trat began as a small coastal trading post, its name thought to come from the Khmer word for ‘abundant water’. It was part of a contested border zone with Cambodia, and French forces occupied the city in the early 20th century before Siamese control was restored. Modern Trat remains a gateway to Ko Chang and the archipelago, but its town centre still shows old shophouses and timber buildings, giving it a slept-in frontier feel. Today its identity is anchored by rubber, fruit orchards and provincial admin, with a slow, practical rhythm far from resort glam.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Trat →Meilleurs mois
December to February – dry, cooler, low humidity. Clear skies make the long drives to beaches easy, and crowds are moderate (peak is coastal, not city).
Peak / Festival surge
April is the hottest month and also Songkran (Thai New Year), when locals head home and travel spikes. Hotel prices in Trat town can double for basic rooms; most visitors use it as a transit hub for Ko Chang.
La saison des épaules
May and June bring heavy but short downpours, greener scenery, and hotel rates drop 30–40%. Fewer ferries run but town stays quiet.
Météo & Emballage
Trat is one of Thailand’s wettest provinces, with rain possible even in ‘dry’ months. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a pair of sandals that can get muddy.
Briefing de la ville — Trat
- The main road through Trat (Route 3148) is being resurfaced near the city market; expect slow traffic and dust in the late afternoon until end of 2026.
- A new air-con minibus service now runs direct from Trat Bus Terminal to Laem Ngop pier every 30 minutes, reducing waits for island ferries.
- Trat’s durian season is peaking in early July – the night market along Sukhumvit Road has live stalls selling fresh fruit and fried durian chips.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ngamkho resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 3 or 4, facing the garden or pool side, away from the street. These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level foot traffic but still accessible by stairs if the lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or lift lobby, as they get noise from guests coming and going. Also avoid rooms facing the street (Trat road) — it's a provincial highway with early morning motorbike and truck traffic.
Best views
Ask for a room overlooking the garden or pool — no sea view here, but the greenery offers a calm outlook. Street-side rooms look onto Trat's main road with shop houses and traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 tend to be quietest, especially rooms at the back of the building (garden/pool side).
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise sources: Trat road is a main artery into town with motorbikes and trucks from 5am; the lift can be audible if your room is adjacent to the shaft; occasional TV noise from adjacent rooms (thin walls typical of this class).
Insider tips
1) Park at the back of the lot if driving — the entrance can get cramped. 2) Check in early (before 2pm) to secure a top-floor garden-side room; otherwise request it at booking via a polite note in Thai.
- 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

Use ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid exchange booths at the airport or tourist centres as they charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in hotels and larger shops, but cash is essential for markets, street food, and local transport; contactless is common in bigger stores but not universal.
Not expected in most places; locals may leave small change (10-20 THB) for good service in restaurants, but taxi drivers and hotel staff won't expect a tip—round up the fare if you wish.

🚐 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.

💡 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.
