A propriedade — BeachBox@Koh Chang

BeachBox@Koh Chang is a straightforward three-star beachfront property on the southeast coast of Trat province, on Koh Chang island. The lobby is open-air, with old ceiling fans and a concrete floor, giving it a functional rather than stylish feel. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a bed close to the sand and don't mind tired decor. The main draw is the location: White Sand Beach is a two-minute walk, and the jetty for ferries to the mainland is nearby.

Crónicas de Trat

Trat town has been a trading post for centuries, with its deep-water port linking Thailand to Cambodia and Vietnam. It was a key defensive stronghold during the Franco-Siamese conflicts of the 1890s, which shaped its compact, fortified layout. After the Second World War, the economy shifted to rubber and fruit plantations, and later to tourism, with Koh Chang becoming a national park in 1982. Today the town retains a sleepy provincial feel, with shophouses and a daily market, while the island is the main draw for beachgoers and divers.

Melhores meses

November to February: cool, dry, low humidity, calm seas. Good for island-hopping and beach days without crowds.

Peak / Festival Surge

December and January are peak – Christmas, New Year, and school holidays bring big crowds and hotel prices double. The Trat Fruit Festival in May also draws domestic visitors.

Orçamento da temporada

March to May and October: quieter, lower prices up to 40% off peak. March to May can be hot, but October sees fewer tourists before the high season.

Tempo e embalagem

Trat and Koh Chang get heavy rain even in the dry season – a sudden downpour is common. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a quick-dry towel; leave umbrellas behind as they are useless in the wind.

Livro City Briefing — Trat

  • The new Koh Chang ferry terminal at Laem Ngop opened in 2025, reducing transfer times from Trat town to the island by about 20 minutes.
  • The old town market has new seating and a covered area for evening food stalls, opened in early 2026, making it more usable in wet weather.
  • A speedboat service from Trat to Koh Chang's northern beaches has been suspended since March 2026 due to insurance issues; check if restarted before booking.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to BeachBox@Koh Chang, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear of the property, away from the main road. These upper floors reduce street noise and catch any sea breeze.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or lobby, as they get foot traffic and vehicle noise from the street. Also skip rooms above any bar or restaurant area, which can be loud until late.

🪟

Best views

The hotel's Trat address suggests it's on a main road, so rear-facing rooms offer the best view of garden or pool area, if available. No guaranteed sea view at this 3-star property.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 3 and 4 are typically quietest, minimising street-level disturbance.

🔊 Noise notes

Main road noise from Trat town traffic, especially during morning and evening rush hours. Occasional motorbike and tuk-tuk pass-by. Hotel bar or common areas may add low-level hum until midnight.

Insider tips

If you arrive by car, ask for a ground-floor room near the parking entrance to avoid carrying luggage upstairs. For quieter sleep, request a room away from the road-facing side when booking.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
