The Property — BP cheap private rooms
BP cheap private rooms is a no-frills guesthouse in central Trat, built around a concrete courtyard with wooden decking and potted plants. Rooms are basic but clean, with mosquito screens, ceiling fans, and bathrooms that work reliably. The USP is price and location: a five-minute walk from the main market and bus terminal to Koh Chang. Suits solo backpackers and couples who plan to be out all day and just need a quiet, safe place to sleep.
Chronicles of Trat
Trat started as a small fishing village on the Gulf of Thailand, gaining prominence as a trading post for gems and tropical goods. It briefly fell under French colonial control in the early 1900s before being returned to Siam in exchange for territory in Cambodia. After the Khmer Rouge period, Trat became a crossroads for refugees and traders, shaping its present-day mix of old wooden shophouses and new concrete blocks. Today it’s the departure point for the Koh Chang archipelago and a quiet market town that exists mostly to serve transit travellers, not tourists. The city’s identity lies in its role as a gateway, not a destination.
Best Time to Visit
Full Trat guide →Best months
December to February: dry, sunny, 27-30°C, low humidity and calm seas for island ferries. Book ahead for Koh Chang connections.
Peak / festival surge
July is mid-rainy season: daily downpours, reduced sunshine, but crowds are moderate because it's not a Thai holiday month. Hotels stay cheap — BP private rooms will likely be under 400 baht. No major festivals; local life goes on unaffected.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and October offer the lowest prices and emptiest rooms. Rains ease by October, humidity drops, and the town feels calm before the peak-season wave hits.
Weather & packing
Trat’s rainy season (May–October) means sudden, heavy showers that flood streets within minutes. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket, quick-dry sandals, and a zip-lock bag for phone and cash.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to BP cheap private rooms, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing away from the main road. These tend to be quieter than ground-floor rooms near the lobby or street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on the ground floor (if available) or facing the street directly, as Trat's main road gets traffic noise from motorbikes and songthaews from early morning.
Best views
Ask for a rear-facing room; they look over the neighbourhood rather than the main road. No distinct view from a 3-star in Trat town, but it avoids the dust and noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 or 3 are quieter, especially if the hotel has no lift — less foot traffic and further from street level.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road traffic (songthaews, trucks) from roughly 6am to 10pm. Possible early-morning market noise if the hotel is near Trat's morning market.
Insider tips
1. If you're on a budget, the best value is a room on floor 2 or 3 at the back — ask at check-in specifically for a 'quiet room'. 2. The hotel has no lift, so if you have heavy luggage request a ground-floor room (but accept it will be noisier).
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Thai Baht, THB
Use ATMs for best rates; avoid exchange counters at the airport and tourist bureaus near the pier — they give poor rates.
Cards are accepted at mid-range hotels, larger shops, and some restaurants, but small vendors and street markets are cash-only. Contactless is rare.
Not expected; spare change often left at restaurants, and rounding up taxi fares is fine. No tip needed for hotel staff.

Rice with a stir-fry or curry from a local food stall — around 50–60 THB.
Pad Thai or fried rice from a market stall — around 50–70 THB for a main.
Walk along the main road near the daytime market (Talad Trat) for stalls with grilled meats, som tam and noodle dishes in the evening.
Tesco Lotus Express and 7-Eleven are common; there is also a small Big C near the market area.
The Trat morning market (Talad Sod) has cheap clothing basics; otherwise, head to the centre for local fabric and simple cotton wear.
Songthaews (shared pickups) run fixed routes around town for 10–20 THB per ride. From the bus station to town is a short walk or a 20 THB songthaew. No airport in Trat town — you'd get a minibus from Trat bus station to the pier.
Eat at the morning market for the cheapest meals. Buy large bottles of water from 7-Eleven rather than stalls. Skip tour packages and arrange your own songthaew to ferry crossings.

🚐 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.
