Trat in Thailand
Who’s been here?
Getting there
By plane
Tiny Trat Airport (TDX) is served only by Bangkok Airways from Bangkok. Alternatively (and much cheaper), a 1st class bus service connects Trat directly with Bangkok#Suvarnabhumi_Airport|Suvarnabhumi Airport (the new BKK).
By bus
Buses to Trat depart from Bangkok's Eastern (Ekamai) and Northern (Moh Chit) Bus Terminals (5 hours). Regular connections from Chanthaburi and other provincial capitals are also available.
By share-taxi
On the east side of the main market building is the local share-taxi departure area, you can't miss the blue cars and pick-ups. Departures toward most provincial villages leave when the vehicle is full, including those to Haad Lek. Connections from there are available onward to the Cambodian border and Koh Kong.
Getting around
The town is sufficiently small to make walking the best mode of transport, although there is little to do besides explore the small streets and relax.
