Bangkok Trip Overview
Trat is a province with character and a transportation hub along Thailand’s eastern coastline that connects Thai idylls with the mainland when tropical escapes off the Thai-Cambodian border are on your itinerary. Famous for its gemstones and trading, it is Thailand’s eastern-most province sharing its coastal charm with Cambodia. The home province of islands such as Koh Chang and Koh Kood, mainland Trat is less of a destination of itself but seen as the place to head out to when seeking rest and respite on one of its islands. With its own small airport as an alternative to head out into the Gulf of Thailand or further afield into Cambodia, this comfortable ride may just well be the travel option for your needs.

What to Expect When Visiting Bangkok, Thailand, Thailand
Trat is a province with character and a transportation hub along Thailand’s eastern coastline that connects Thai idylls with the mainland when tropical escapes off the Thai-Cambodian border are on your itinerary. Famous for its gemstones and trading, it is Thailand’s eastern-most province sharing its coastal charm with Cambodia. The home province of islands such as Koh Chang and Koh Kood, mainland Trat is less of a destination of itself but seen as the place to head out to when seeking rest and respite on one of its islands. With its own small airport as an alternative to head out into the Gulf of Thailand or further afield into Cambodia, this comfortable ride may just well be the travel option for your needs.
After going through all airport formalities and picking up your belongings from the right belt at one of Bangkok’s International Airport, your car and driver are ready to safely drive to Trat and your holiday resort. Through a corridor of other guides, you will recognize your guide as he holds up your name at the exit door for either international or domestic arrivals. Guides will guide you to your air-conditioned vehicle, ready for a swift ride out from the capital and onto the main express way in southern direction. With both airports excellently connected towards Thailand’s main highways, you will be out of Bangkok in no time. Via highway numbers 7 and 3, the main connection that has made overland travel possible between Bangkok and the eastern coastline, the driver follows the road straight towards Trat. Following the flat landscape, dotted with factories and sceneries of green, an authentic, somewhat sleepy side of Thailand will soon make way for a more happening side of vibrant Trat.
A dominant factor of what makes Trat such an important stop is its the proximity of the Gulf of Thailand wherever you may be, offering numerous ferry services towards idyllic island escapes, an overland gateway to Cambodia, woven into great seafood and authentic Thai scenery.
We reach the town of Trat after existing highway number 7 and 3 and alight right at the doorstep of your resort, boat pier, or Trat’s domestic airport. Assisted by your guide, it is time to check in, away from it all.
