[2024 Trat Attraction] Travel Guide for Trat City Museum (Updated Sep)

#trat #staycation Most travelers who happen to be in or near the provincial town of Trat go either to Koh Chang via the nearby port at Laem Ngop or to Cambodia via the Hat Lek border checkpoint in 91st. kilometer southeast of the city. However, Trat itself is not without charm, and numerous pensions with hospitable staff beckon to stay longer. If you are caught in a break between buses, so much the better for you. Trat is a small market town with a pleasant leisurely atmosphere, located 68 kilometers east of Chanthaburi. This is the perfect place to shop for supplies, extend your visa or simply relax before heading to Koh Chang, the Outer Islands or Cambodia. While the city does not have any of Thailand's iconic sights per se, historical sites in the surrounding area, downstream of the Khlong Trat canal, you will find most of the traveler's guesthouses and restaurants, which are replete with characteristic old wooden houses with shops and narrow side streets.
