The Property — Baanrimnam Resort
A small, family-run resort on the banks of the Trat River, a 15-minute walk from the town centre. The vibe is low-key and rural: wooden walkways, tropical gardens, a pool overlooking the water, and a simple open-air restaurant. It suits independent travellers or couples who want a quiet base with local character rather than beachfront luxury. Standing in the lobby you smell river mud and hear longtail boats puttering past.
Chronicles of Trat
Trat started as a trading port for gems and timber in the Ayutthaya period, later flourishing under King Rama V after Siam ceded much of eastern Cambodia to the French. The old town, Trat Taksin, preserves 19th-century shophouses that mix Chinese, Thai and European styles. Today it is the main gateway to the Koh Chang archipelago but keeps its own identity as a market town and crossroads with Cambodia. Its cultural pulse is the morning market along Thanon Ratananuson and the annual Trat Fruit Fair in June.
Best Time to Visit
Full Trat guide →Best months
November to February: dry, cooler, 25-30°C, low humidity. Reliable sun for river trips and island ferries. Crowds are moderate because most tourists head straight to the beaches.
Peak / festival surge
December to early January and Chinese New Year (late Jan/Feb). Trat acts as a transit hub for Koh Chang, so hotel prices in town can double. The Trat Fruit Fair in June also bumps up demand locally.
Budget shoulder season
March and October: March is hot but not yet rainy; October is the tail of the wet season with sporadic showers but good discounts (30-40% off peak rates). Both have far fewer people.
Weather & packing
Trat is one of Thailand's wettest provinces, especially from May to October when storms often roll in from the Gulf. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket or packable poncho, even in the drier months.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Baanrimnam Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper floors (3rd or 4th) facing away from the main road. These are quieter and catch light without the street hum. Rooms on the side or rear are preferable if available.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near reception or the lift/stairwell, as they pick up foot traffic and lobby noise. Also skip rooms directly above the parking area if there's late-night comings and goings.
Best views
Rooms at the back or side offer garden or partial rural views; Trat is low-rise so no city skyline, but these avoid the road.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, being furthest from street-level noise and common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road (likely Route 314) runs past the property; early morning and evening traffic is noticeable. No major bars or clubs nearby, so the main noise source is vehicles.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on the 4th floor away from the lift – it's the top floor and quietest. 2. If you drive, parking is at the front, so request a rear-facing room to avoid car noise at night.
- 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

🧭 First things nearby: cash · Nearest — 325 m · ~4 min walk
🚐 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.
