संपत्ति — Mercure Hideaway
The Mercure Hideaway in Trat feels more like a well-kept provincial lodge than a chain hotel – think polished concrete floors, local rattan furniture and a pool that catches the late-afternoon light. Its USP is genuinely decent mid-range comfort at a price that undercuts most hotels in the city, plus a location that puts you within a 10-minute walk of the morning market and the pier for Koh Chang ferries. This is the place for travellers who need a clean, quiet bed between transit legs but still want a cold beer by the water at sundown. It suits budget-conscious couples or small groups who don't need resort frills but draw the line at backpacker dorms.
Trat का इतिहास
Trat started as a small fishing village on the Gulf of Thailand, but its real story began when the French took control from the Siamese in 1893, using the port as a colonial outpost for timber and rubber exports. The architecture that remains – shophouses with wooden shutters and tiled roofs, the old customs house – is a blend of Thai and early-20th-century European, built during the rubber boom that followed the Siamese reclaiming the province in 1907. Today Trat serves as the main gateway to the Koh Chang archipelago, but it keeps a low-key frontier feel: locals still cycle to work, the riverfront is tatty and functional, and the city's identity is more about trade routes and border crossings than tourism.
यात्रा करने के लिए सबसे अच्छा समय
Trat की पूरी गाइड →सर्वश्रेष्ठ महीने
December and January — cool, dry and low humidity, with seas calm enough for island ferries to run on schedule, plus manageable crowds because most visitors head straight to Koh Chang.
पिक / फेस्टिवल Surge
April (Songkran) is the peak: the Thai New Year brings domestic tourists north from the islands, and hotel prices in Trat jump 30–50% from the dry-season base. The main event is the water festival on the Sai Khao River, with street parties and parades through the city centre.
बजट कंधे के मौसम
May–June and September–October are the budget shoulders: lower rain than July–August, far fewer tourists, and room rates drop 40–60%. The weather is still warm (28–32°C) with short afternoon downpours.
मौसम और पैकिंग
July in Trat sits in the wet southwest monsoon season – expect heavy rain most afternoons, but mornings are often clear and hot. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and quick-dry sandals; leave your umbrella at home because the hotel provides them free at reception.
Live City Briefing के बारे में जानें — Trat
- The Trat city bus station has moved from the old market area to a new terminal on Sukhumvit Road (Highway 3) – minibuses to Koh Chang now leave from here, not the pier; check your transfer details.
- A new seafood night market has opened on Sai Khao Road near the river, operating Wednesday–Sunday from 5pm – good for budget meals and avoiding the tourist-scaled restaurants on the main drag.
- The ferry operator Boonsiri has suspended its high-speed service to Koh Kood for July due to seasonal engine maintenance; slower public ferries still run but add 45 minutes to the crossing.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Mercure Hideaway, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4, facing away from the main road. These upper floors minimise street noise and benefit from being above the lobby and restaurant, which can get busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (near the lobby and busy street) and rooms facing the main road – Trat’s traffic can be noisy, especially in the morning and late afternoon. Also avoid rooms near the lift or service stairwell on any floor.
Best views
Given the address is simply 'Trat', the best view is likely of the surrounding town or low-rise rooftops – request a room at the back of the hotel for a quieter vista, or one with a side window overlooking the quieter side street if available.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 (top floors of a typical 4-storey building, assuming a small lift) are the quietest, away from street-level bustle and above the ground-floor noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Trat’s main roads is the primary issue, plus potential bar/restaurant sound from the ground floor. The lift may also create some hum on adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. If you have a car, ask about free parking at check-in – it’s often available but limited. 2. Request a late checkout (e.g., 12pm) if you’re heading out to Koh Chang – many 3-star hotels in Trat are flexible with this.
- 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 →चारों ओर
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.

Trat के शीर्ष आकर्षण
💡 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.
💡 Ring the bell once for luck – locals say it brings safe travel. Temple dogs are friendly but ignore them if they bark.
💡 Call ahead to check if the English labels are in place – they rotate exhibits. The garden has a free map of local waterfalls.
