La proprietà — Captain Hook Resort
Captain Hook Resort is a modest 3-star perched on a private slice of Koh Mak's coastline, styled like a rustic beach camp rather than a polished resort. The lobby is an open-air wooden deck where bare feet are the norm, frangipani scent drifts in from the garden, and the main soundtrack is waves lapping below. It trades luxury for easy direct beach access, simple bungalows, and a distinctly quiet, island-escape atmosphere — suited to couples or solo travellers who want to switch off rather than party. Standing there, you feel the pace drop instantly: no reception desk hurry, just a hammock and a cold coconut within reach.
Cronache di Trat
Trat town was founded as a coastal trading post in the Ayutthaya era, later serving as a vital Siamese frontier against French Indochina. Its architecture reflects a blend of wooden Chinese shophouses, Thai Buddhist temples, and colonial-era Customs House, many still lining the old riverside streets. Historically a gateway to Cambodia, the city boomed during the 1850s as a hub for cardamom, pepper, and gemstone smuggling. Today, Trat is defined by its role as the main ferry jump-off for the Mu Ko Chang archipelago, yet it holds onto a low-rise, unhurried provincial character — less of a tourist town than its islands suggest. Locals refer to it as 'the end of the road' before the sea, and its contemporary identity balances ferry logistics, fruit orchards, and a modest backpacker scene.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Trat →I migliori mesi
December to February: coolest temperatures (around 26-30°C), minimal rain, calm seas — ideal for island hopping without humidity fatigue. January also sees the Trat Fruit Fair, adding cultural interest without huge crowds.
Peak / Festival Surge
December through February are peak season on Koh Mak, with tourists fleeing Bangkok's smog and European winter. Hotel prices can jump 40-60% over off-peak, and ferries fill up. Christmas and New Year are the absolute top, pushing 3-star rates closer to 4-star levels. No major festivals drive it except New Year's Eve beach parties.
Stagione di spalla
March and April offer solid discounts (20-30% off peak rates), still mostly dry weather, and few crowds — but March can be hot (34°C), and April includes the hot Songkran water festival. November is another good shoulder month: rains tail off, prices drop, and the jungle is lush.
Meteo e imballaggio
Trat and Koh Mak have a monsoon microclimate with rain often falling in short, intense bursts even in dry season — a light, packable rain jacket is essential year-round. Explicit packing rule: leave the umbrella at home; bring a wide-brimmed hat and reef-safe sunscreen instead, as UV is fierce even under cloud cover.
Briefing della città — Trat
- From July 2025, the Trat-Ban Pakard ferry route to Koh Mak saw reduced daily services due to operator consolidation — check the Koh Mak Ferry Company schedule for 2026, as frequency is now 4 crossings per day instead of 6.
- The new Trat International Airport departure terminal opened in late 2025, adding a coffee shop and duty-free; baggage processing has sped up, but flights from Bangkok remain limited (Bangkok Airways monopoly), so book well ahead for July.
- High season or not, expect sporadic afternoon downpours in early July — these are brief but heavy, so plan morning excursions and afternoon hammock time accordingly.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Captain Hook Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Ask for a room on the upper floors (3rd or 4th) facing away from the street. The hotel is a low-rise property, so higher floors reduce noise from the road and common areas.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or lift – they pick up foot traffic and check-in chatter. Also skip rooms facing the street (likely 15/9 side) as Trat's main roads can have motorbike and truck noise.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing away from the street may offer a glimpse of the surrounding greenery or Koh Kood's inland scenery, but don't expect sea views – this is a 3-star inland hotel.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 – furthest from street level and lobby activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Expect some traffic noise from the main road (15/9 is a local address in Koh Kood, so likely a small road but can still have scooters and trucks). Also possible noise from the hotel's own facilities (breakfast area, lobby) if you're on the ground floor.
Insider tips
1) If you arrive by car, park away from the entrance side – less noise when doors slam. 2) Check in after 2pm when the check-in rush is over; you'll have a better chance at negotiating a quieter room assignment.
- 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 Captain Hook Resort
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Girare intorno
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.

Principali attrazioni a Trat
💡 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.
