The Property — Good times Resort
A three-star beachfront resort on the quieter southern stretch of Hat Sai Khao (White Sand Beach). Expect dated but clean bungalows set in a mature tropical garden, a large swimming pool, and a directly accessible beach that’s good for swimming at high tide. It suits budget-conscious couples or families who want to be on the sand without paying for four-star polish; the lobby smells of frangipani and sun-dried towels, and the staff are relaxed rather than rushed.
Chronicles of Trat
Trat town began as a small trading port during the Ayutthaya period, later gaining strategic importance as a gateway to Cambodia. French colonial forces occupied it briefly in the early 1900s, leaving behind a few shophouse streets that still show Indochinese architectural influence. After the Vietnam War, refugees and cross-border trade reshaped the town into a bustling, gritty market hub. Today, Trat retains a frontier feel—unpolished, authentic, and more about transit to the islands than tourism in its own right.
Best Time to Visit
Full Trat guide →Best months
December to February: low humidity, cool breezes, and calm seas. Prices are high but crowds are manageable outside the Koh Chang ferry queues.
Peak / festival surge
April (Songkran water festival) and the Christmas–New Year fortnight. Rooms at Good Times Resort can double in price; the beach is busy, and Trat town gets loud with festival celebrations.
Budget shoulder season
November and March: still warm, fewer tourists, and hotel rates drop 20–30%. The transition months offer decent weather with a quieter beach.
Weather & packing
Trat is one of Thailand’s wettest provinces—rain can arrive suddenly even in the dry season. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and a dry bag for phone and wallet; flip-flops are the only footwear you’ll need.
Live City Briefing — Trat
- The new dual-lane road from Trat town to Laem Ngop ferry pier opened in late 2025, cutting travel time to the islands by about 15 minutes—good for early check-in after a morning flight.
- A large wastewater treatment project on Hat Sai Khao may cause minor beach access changes near the southern end through mid-2026; check with the resort if the beach in front of the property will be affected during your stay.
- Several small cafés and a craft-beer bar opened on the main road opposite the resort in early 2026, offering evening options beyond the hotel restaurant.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Good times Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3–5 away from the staircase and lift shaft. These floors sit high enough to cut street buzz but still have stable lift access, and the north-facing side (if available) avoids morning sun and traffic noise from the access road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near reception or the breakfast area — they pick up footfall, kitchen clatter, and outdoor seating noise. Also skip any room directly above or beside the lift core (vibration and pings carry).
Best views
The hotel sits on a side road off Trat’s main route, so best view is likely a north or west aspect overlooking low-rise buildings and trees — not the front car park or access alley. Upper floors (4–5) give a glimpse of the distant hills if clear.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–5 are the quietest: above street-level hubbub but below roof-level equipment hum. The mid-range means fewer lift stops and less through-traffic.
🔊 Noise notes
Trat is a provincial hub with pick-up trucks and motorbikes from early morning. The road outside is minor but can have early market traffic. Inside, the breakfast setup can generate clatter from 07:00. Lift door sounds are noticeable in adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on the north or west side of the building when booking — these are likelier to be quieter because the main entrance faces east/south-east. 2. If you have a car, park away from the front wall to avoid exhaust fumes coming into ground-floor rooms. The hotel has no pool for a 3-star in Trat, so manage expectations.
- 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

Your arrival at Good times Resort
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 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.
