The Property — Green Cottage And Beach Res E
Green Cottage And Beach Res E is a no-fuss three-star set back from Trat's main road, with a small pool and basic wooden bungalows scattered among tropical planting. It feels like a quiet stopover more than a destination in itself: clean, functional, and aimed at travellers who need a practical base for a night before heading to the islands. The lobby is a simple open-sided room with a fan, a reception desk, and a rack of leaflets for Koh Chang ferries.
Chronicles of Trat
Trat emerged as a trading port in the Ayutthaya period, later becoming a key gemstone and pepper centre during the Rattanakosin era. Its architecture mixes shophouse rows from the early 20th century with a few surviving wooden trading sheds, though much of the old town was remodelled after the 1970s. The city's identity now hinges on being the mainland gateway to the Koh Chang archipelago, with a modest but growing domestic tourism scene. Contemporary Trat feels like a functional provincial hub—markets, bus station, and ferry piers dominate the daily rhythm, not beach resorts.
Best Time to Visit
Full Trat guide →Best months
December, January, February – dry, low humidity, and calm seas for island crossings.
Peak / festival surge
December and January are peak; Christmas and New Year fill ferries and hotels. Expect prices to double or triple in all categories. The main driver is European winter sun seekers.
Budget shoulder season
November and late February offer lower room rates, still decent weather, and quieter beaches. March can be hot but with big discounts before the monsoon.
Weather & packing
Even in July, the monsoon brings sudden tropical downpours that may last an hour. Always pack a lightweight rain jacket and waterproof sandals, not leather shoes.
Live City Briefing — Trat
- The new Trat bypass road (Route 3157) opened in late 2025, shaving off about 15 minutes from the drive to the Ao Thammachat ferry pier.
- Several old shophouses on Sukhumvit Road have been converted into coffee shops and a small craft brewery, adding a few evening options beyond the night market.
- Expect heavier than usual midge (sandfly) activity along the coast this July due to recent wet weather; bring repellent containing DEET or picaridin.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Green Cottage And Beach Res E, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the north side of the building, away from the coastal road that runs along the southern edge of Trat town. First-floor rooms with direct garden access are quieter and cooler, as the building is only two storeys.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the street (likely the south side) as Trat's main road carries early-morning market traffic and motorbikes. Also avoid the back rooms near the service entrance if there's a generator or kitchen exhaust – the property is a simple 3-star, so noise insulation is minimal.
Best views
Limited – the address 'Trat' suggests a roadside location in town. Best view is a garden-facing first-floor room overlooking the small palm courtyard; no sea view as this is inland, not beachfront.
Quietest floors
First floor (ground level in UK parlance) – rooms with no upper neighbour, and set back from the street. This floor also benefits from the block's concrete slab, which muffles footfall above.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the main road through Trat (Route 3148) – motorbikes from 6am and market lorries. Occasional temple loudspeakers at dawn if within a few blocks. The property has no double glazing given its 3-star rating.
Insider tips
1. Park your car or scooter around the back near the staff area – the front kerb gets crowded with market stalls on Sunday. 2. Ask for a room on the first floor east side if you want morning sun for drying towels, but avoid if you're a light sleeper (east gets road noise from 6am).
- 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

🚐 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.
