The Property — Wave-F Hut
Wave-F Hut is a basic but cheerful 3-star guesthouse near Trat’s main market. The open-air lobby is tiled and fan-cooled, with a small reception desk and a noticeboard of boat schedules to Koh Chang. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, no-frills base for a night before catching a ferry or exploring Trat’s fruit markets.
Cronache di Trat
Trat began as a small trading port during the Ayutthaya period, later developing under King Taksin after the fall of Ayutthaya. French colonial influence arrived briefly in the late 19th century when the French occupied the town until 1906, leaving some Franco-Khmer architecture in older buildings. Modern Trat is a low-rise provincial capital, known for its rubber and fruit plantations, and as the main gateway to the islands of Koh Chang, Koh Kood and Koh Mak. Its contemporary identity is driven by cross-border trade with Cambodia via the Hat Lek checkpoint, and by domestic tourism heading to the coast.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
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.
