Chronicles of Trat
Trat Province, where Ko Chang is situated, has a rich history dating back to the 11th century, when it was a major trading hub between Siam and the Khmer Empire. The city's architecture reflects its cultural heritage, with a mix of traditional Thai temples, colonial-era buildings, and modern infrastructure. As a border town, Trat has a unique cultural identity shaped by its proximity to Cambodia and the Gulf of Thailand. The city's bustling marketplaces, such as the Trat Bus Terminal, are a great place to experience the local way of life. Today, Trat is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, with its stunning beaches, waterfalls, and vibrant night markets.

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.
