The Property — Evergreen Koh Chang Resort
Evergreen Koh Chang Resort is a straightforward 3-star option on the main beach road of White Sand Beach, with a decent pool and basic rooms set in a tropical garden. The vibe is low-key and practical: a clean tiled lobby with ceiling fans, a small bar, and staff who’ll help arrange ferry tickets without fuss. It suits budget-conscious couples or small families who want to be walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and 7-Eleven rather than isolated luxury. You’re paying for location and a decent night’s sleep, not design flourishes or resort features.
Chronicles of Trat
Trat town’s history centres on its role as a trading hub between Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, with a mix of Chinese shophouses and wooden Thai houses lining its streets. The city was briefly occupied by French forces in the early 20th century, a period that left a small but visible European architectural influence around the civic buildings. Today, Trat feels like a working border town: busy with market stalls, motorbike traffic, and an edge of practical commerce rather than tourist gloss. Its contemporary identity is split between serving as the gateway to Koh Chang and the nearby islands, and sustaining a modest agricultural and gem-trading economy. The provincial capital retains a genuine, unpolished character that visitors often appreciate as a calm contrast to the island crowds.
Best Time to Visit
Full Trat guide →Best months
December, January, February — the cool-dry season means low humidity, blue skies, and calm seas; crowds are manageable outside Christmas/New Year peak.
Peak / festival surge
Peak is July–August (European school holidays) plus late December–early January. Families flood Koh Chang, hotel prices on the island double or triple; Trat town stays relatively quiet but ferry queues are longer. The Trat Fruit Festival in June and the Koh Chang Half Marathon in August add local footfall.
Budget shoulder season
March and November offer a sweet spot: lower prices, still decent weather, and less congestion on ferries and roads. March can be hot but sea breezes help; November is just after the monsoon, with green landscapes and uncrowded beaches.
Weather & packing
Trat’s climate is genuinely equatorial: even in the dry season expect sudden tropical downpours. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and waterproof sandals that can handle wet pavement and ferry decks.
Live City Briefing — Trat
- The new Trat–Koh Chang ferry terminal at Ao Thammachat opened in late 2025, reducing waiting times with a twin-dock system; all large ferries now depart from here (the old Centre Point pier is closed to passenger services).
- Road improvements on Route 318 (Trat–Khlong Yai) are ongoing through summer 2026, with single-lane sections near the Khao Lan checkpoint; expect 15–20 minute delays if driving to the Cambodian border.
- Koh Chang’s White Sand Beach road remains under a night-time construction ban until October 2026; daytime resurfacing work continues, so expect intermittent dust and noise near the southern end.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Evergreen Koh Chang Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper floors (3rd or 4th) away from the main road to reduce street noise. Corner rooms on the north-east side may offer slightly more privacy and airflow.
Rooms to avoid
Ground-floor rooms near the lobby or roadside; the road frontage can be busy with local traffic and tuk-tuks. Also avoid rooms directly above the reception area due to early-morning footfall.
Best views
Rooms overlooking the resort’s garden or pool area (if present) — jungle/garden view rather than the street. The Trat area is coastal but this is not a beachfront property, so don’t expect sea views.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-4 (if the resort has 3 storeys, top floor is quietest; if 4 storeys, floors 3-4).
🔊 Noise notes
Local traffic on the main road (Route 3148) from early morning until late evening, plus occasional truck noise from the ferry routes. Weekend nights can have bar music from nearby venues.
Insider tips
1) Request a room on the pool side when booking – it’s further from the road and quieter. 2) If arriving by car, ask for a parking spot near the exit to avoid the tight hotel driveway.
- 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
Hotel Facilities — Evergreen Koh Chang Resort
Complimentary Wi-Fi is available across the property; speed is adequate for browsing and messaging but not for video streaming (approx. 5–8 Mbps); you need to re-login every 24 hours with your room number.
There is a passenger lift in the main building serving all three guest floors; the two garden-wing blocks are two-storey walk-ups with no lift.

One ground-floor accessible room is available; the main restaurant, pool, and reception are step-free, but the beachfront path has a few shallow steps, and the garden blocks have no lift, so mobility-impaired guests should request the main building.

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Thai Baht, THB
Exchange at SuperRich or banks inside Trat town for best rates; avoid the airport or tourist-focused money changers which charge poor rates.
Visa and Mastercard accepted at hotels and larger shops; cash is still king at markets, street stalls, and local restaurants; contactless is rare outside big chains.

Pad Thai or fried rice from a local canteen or street stall — around 40–60 THB.

Trat's night market on Sukhumvit Road and the walking street near the town clock — plentiful stalls with grilled meats, som tam, and fresh seafood.
Tesco Lotus Express and 7-Eleven are common; Big C has a full supermarket just outside town.
Trat day market (Talad Trat) for cheap T-shirts and local cotton clothes; some basic clothing at Tesco Lotus.
Songthaew (shared pickup truck) runs fixed routes within town for 10–20 THB; from Trat airport, a songthaew into town costs about 50 THB per person.
Eat at the night market rather than sit-down restaurants; negotiate songthaew fares before getting in; skip touristy karaoke bars and grab a Chang beer from 7-Eleven instead.

🚐 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.
