La proprietà — Siam Cottege
Siam Cottage is a modest but well-kept 3-star hotel on Trat’s main road, about 2 km from the city centre. Its USP is straightforward value: clean, air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and a small outdoor pool, aimed at budget-conscious travellers using Trat as a stopover for Koh Chang or Koh Mak. The lobby feels like a functional transit hub — tiled floors, a reception desk, a few chairs, and a noticeboard with ferry timetables. It suits solo backpackers or families who want a no-frills night’s sleep before heading to the islands.
Cronache di Trat
Trat has been a quiet border town since the Ayutthaya period, serving as a trade gateway between Thailand and Cambodia. Its architecture reflects a mix of Thai wooden shop houses and French colonial influences from the early 20th century, when the French controlled nearby Cambodia. The city declined in the 1970s as transport routes shifted, but revived from the 1990s onward with the rise of island tourism. Today, Trat’s identity is as a practical transit hub — its streets are lined with seafood restaurants, ferry ticket shops and a few art galleries. Locals are proud of their fruit orchards (durian, rambutan) and the annual Trat Fruit Festival in May.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Trat →I migliori mesi
December to February — cool, dry weather with daytime temps around 28-32°C, low rain, and manageable crowds because most tourists head straight for the islands.
Peak / Festival Surge
Peak season runs from mid-December to February, driven by European winter holidays and the clear skies over Koh Chang. Hotel prices in Trat jump 30-50% during this period; book well ahead. Songkran (April 13-15) also brings domestic visitors for water fights.
Stagione di spalla
March and November offer good weather, lighter crowds and prices 20-30% lower than peak. March sees some heat (34°C) but minimal rain; November is the tail end of the wet season, with occasional showers but still pleasant.
Meteo e imballaggio
July falls in the rainy season here, with daily heavy downpours and humidity above 80%. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and quick-dry sandals — an umbrella alone won’t cut it for the sudden tropical storms.
Briefing della città — Trat
- The new Trat Bus Terminal (opened 2023) is now fully operational, 3 km west of the city centre — take a local songthaew (20 baht) to reach Siam Cottage.
- Koh Chang ferry services from the Laem Ngop pier run every hour in July, but check for cancellations due to rough seas during the monsoon.
- A new night market called Talad Trat Walking Street launched in early 2025, open every Friday and Saturday evening from 6 PM on Sukhumvit Road, offering local seafood and crafts.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Siam Cottege, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 2–4 at the back of the building, overlooking the inner courtyard or garden. These floors avoid ground-level street noise and still have decent natural light without the heat of the top floor.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (level 0 or 1), especially those facing the street or near the reception/lobby area. Also avoid rooms at the front of the building on any floor — Trat's main road carries motorbike and truck traffic from early morning.
Best views
Rooms at the rear have views over the hotel's garden or neighbouring low-rise buildings — green and calm. Front rooms face Trat's main road, which is busy but sometimes gives a distant glimpse of hills on a clear day.
Quietest floors
Floors 2–4 are the quietest — far enough from street-level noise and high enough to avoid ground-floor activity, but not so high that you get roof or lift-mechanism sounds.
🔊 Noise notes
Trat's main road has motorbikes from 6am, songthaews (shared taxis) and trucks passing regularly. The hotel's own air-con units, especially if older, can be noisy — bring earplugs. The lift is likely a single car that clunks when stopping near rooms adjacent to the shaft.
Insider tips
1) If arriving by car, park at the back — the front spaces are tight and get sun-baked. 2) Ask reception for a fan as well as air-con; Trat is humid and a fan helps with noise-masking and airflow. 3) Breakfast is basic Thai fare — skip it and walk to the morning market 5 mins away for proper khao tom (rice soup) and fresh fruit.
- 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 →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.
