The Property — Khlong Hin Beach Resort
Khlong Hin Beach Resort operates as a basic, low-cost beachfront stay on a quieter stretch of Trat's coast. The open-air lobby feels more like a covered patio, with sand creeping in from the beach a few steps away. Rooms are simple and a bit worn, but the real draw is the direct access to the sea and the sunsets. It suits budget travellers or divers who just need a bed near the water and don't expect frills.
Chronicles of Trat
Trat city traces its recorded roots to the Ayutthaya period, serving as a strategic maritime trading post with Cambodia. It was briefly occupied by French forces in the early 1900s during the Franco-Siamese border disputes, which shaped its fortified architecture around the old town. Many wooden shophouses along the riverfront still reflect that 19th‑century trade boom, painted in faded pastels. Today, Trat acts as the gateway to the Ko Chang archipelago, retaining a sleepy port character with a strong local market culture and a substantial Khmer minority population.

Your arrival at Khlong Hin Beach 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.
