A propriedade — Grand Mar Hat

The Grand Mar Hat is a straightforward, modern three-star in central Trat, a short walk from the main market and bus station. The lobby is clean and functional, with polished tiles and a check-in desk where staff hand over room keys and a welcome drink without fuss. It suits independent travellers or small families who want a reliable base for a night or two before heading to the islands, valuing practicality over character.

Crónicas de Trat

Trat began as a small fishing settlement on the Gulf of Thailand, and during the Ayutthaya period it became a trading outpost for gems and timber from the Cardamom Mountains. French colonial forces occupied it briefly in the early 1900s, leaving a few shophouse facades with shuttered windows that survive on Thanon Sukhumvit. The city rebuilt fast after the 1960s, when border trade with Cambodia and the rise of island tourism shifted its economy. Today Trat feels like a working-market town: concrete shopfronts, motorbikes, and fresh durian stalls, with little curation for tourists.

Melhores meses

December and January offer the driest, coolest weather in Trat, with daytime temperatures around 30°C and low humidity. February is also good, though crowds are slightly lighter.

Peak / Festival Surge

The peak season runs from November to February, driven by dry weather and Christmas/New Year holidays from domestic and international travellers. Hotel prices in Trat can double in late December; the Grand Mar Hat typically hits 1,500-2,000 THB per night. The Trat Fruit Festival in late May also briefly fills rooms.

Orçamento da temporada

March and April are the hottest shoulder months (often 35-37°C) but with fewer tourists and rates at the Grand Mar Hat around 700-900 THB. October, at the end of the wet season, offers similar discounts and greener surroundings.

Tempo e embalagem

Trat's climate is monsoonal, with rain likely any afternoon from May to October even on otherwise sunny days. Pack a lightweight rain jacket or compact umbrella, and always carry a spare pair of dry socks.

Livro City Briefing — Trat

  • The new Trat bus terminal opened in 2024 on the city's bypass road, replacing the old downtown station; minibuses to Koh Chang and Koh Kood now depart from here, adding a 15-minute tuk-tuk ride from the hotel.
  • The 250-year-old Wat Buppharam temple in central Trat was restored in late 2025 with new murals and a garden, now open to visitors free of charge.
  • Authorities have warned of seasonal high tides along coastal roads near Trat during July, which can cause brief flooding on routes to the ferry piers; check local advice before driving.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Grand Mar Hat, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request upper floors (4th or 5th) facing away from the main road. These are quieter and get better airflow in Trat's heat.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid ground-floor rooms near the check-in desk or breakfast area; they get foot traffic and kitchen noise from early morning.

🪟

Best views

Upper-floor rooms at the back of the hotel (non-road side) overlook local neighbourhoods or greenery, not the busy street. Ask for 'back side' or 'city view' for a calmer outlook.

😴

Quietest floors

4th and 5th floors are quietest, farthest from street and lobby activity.

🔊 Noise notes

Trat's main road has constant motorbike traffic, occasional trucks, and early-morning market activity. The hotel's ground floor may also have a bar or karaoke lounge common in Thai 3-star hotels—ask if one operates during your stay.

Insider tips

1. If driving, check if free street parking is available out front—many Trat hotels lack dedicated lots. 2. Breakfast typically runs 7-9am; arrive early to avoid crowds and ensure hot dishes are fresh.

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
