La propriété — So Very, Very
So Very, Very is a small 3-star hotel in central Trat, with clean, modern rooms and a breezy lobby that smells faintly of lemongrass. Its USP is location: a two-minute walk from the main market and bus terminal to Koh Chang, making it a no-fuss stopover for island-hopping travellers. The vibe is efficient and friendly, not luxurious — think functional tile floors, a decent breakfast spread, and staff who can arrange onward transport. It suits independent travellers who want a solid overnight before catchng the ferry.
Chroniques de Trat
Trat was founded in the Ayutthaya period as a coastal trading port, later developing a reputation for gemstone mining and rubber plantations. The city’s architecture is a mix of shophouses from the early 1900s, built by Chinese and European merchants, and a few wooden stilt houses along the canal. During the French colonial era, Trat was briefly ceded to French Indochina, which left subtle Khmer and Vietnamese influences in local food. Today it functions as a transit hub for Koh Chang and Koh Kood, with a laid-back, provincial identity centered on fishing and fruit orchards.

Guide complet de Trat →Meilleurs mois
December to February: dry, sunny days with temperatures 25–30°C, low humidity, and calm seas for the islands. Crowds are moderate, not overwhelming.
Peak / Festival surge
Peak is December–January when European winter holidays align with the best weather. Hotel prices in Trat double or triple; So Very, Very typically charges 1,500–2,000 THB per night vs 600–900 THB off-peak. New Year’s fireworks on Koh Chang drive demand.
La saison des épaules
March and November: March is still dry but hotter (32–35°C) with fewer tourists; November sees the monsoon’s tail end and sharply discounted rooms as roads improve.
Météo & Emballage
Trat has a monsoon climate where rain falls year-round, but July is in the wet season with daily afternoon downpours. Pack a quick-dry travel towel and a waterproof jacket, even if you think you’ll just be indoors.
Briefing de la ville — Trat
- The Trat–Koh Chang ferry terminal has added two new high-speed catamarans as of May 2026, reducing crossing time to 30 minutes.
- Road construction on Route 3149 (the main road through town) is ongoing until October 2026; expect daytime delays of 10–15 minutes near Soi 5.
- The annual Trat Fruit Festival (durian, rambutan, mangosteen) runs July 4–10, so the market will be busier than usual during your stay.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to So Very, Very, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd floor or higher, facing away from the main road. The higher floors reduce street-level noise from Trat’s traffic, and the rear side overlooks quieter local lanes rather than the main street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor and first floor directly above the lobby or lift lobby – foot traffic and luggage sounds carry. Also avoid rooms overlooking the front street, as motorbikes and songthaews run past from early morning.
Best views
The best view is from a higher-floor room at the rear (south-facing, if possible) – you’ll see the low-rise rooftops of Trat town and the greenery of the surrounding hills, rather than the busy main road. The front rooms simply look onto the street and shopfronts.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and above are consistently quieter – the building has soundproofing that improves with height, and you’re lifted well clear of street-level hustle.
🔊 Noise notes
Main street noise: songthaews (shared taxis) and motorbikes run from around 6am to 10pm. The hotel’s entrance area can be lively with guests arriving or waiting for transport. There’s no external bar or club nearby, but the lift motor hums audibly on lower floors.
Insider tips
1. If you’re driving, the hotel has limited parking out front – arrive early evening to claim a spot; otherwise you’ll have to park on the street, which is safe but fills up. 2. Request a room on the 3rd floor rear when booking – staff can usually accommodate if you call a day ahead, especially midweek.
- 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
