Where to Stay in Trat: Town, Laem Ngop and Mainland Coast

Trat is the mainland province of eastern Thailand that sits behind Koh Chang, Koh Mak and Koh Kood. Most visitors only pass through it, but the mainland has its own places to sleep: an old town with a night market, a mangrove edge, the Laem Ngop piers, and a string of quiet beaches that run south-east towards Khlong Yai. This page covers only the mainland, in five areas. For hotels on the islands, use our Koh Chang, Koh Mak and Koh Kood stay guides.

Use the quick answer above, then the area table. We show no hotel prices because rates change with dates and room type, and the booking buttons open a search for your own dates. We have not stayed at any of these hotels. Every card shows facts taken from the hotel's own website and checked on 16 October 2026 after a separate verification pass, with the source linked. We could not find a readable official site for several well-known Trat hotels, so this is a checked list, not a complete one.

How to choose

1. Decide what the stay is for. If it is a night before an island, stay in Trat town or near Laem Ngop. If it is the mainland beach itself, look at Laem Klat or Mai Rut, but plan a car or transfer because both are 40 minutes or more from town on the hotels' own figures.
2. Check which pier your boat uses. Koh Chang ferries use Ao Thammachat, Koh Kood and some Koh Mak boats use Laem Sok, and other Koh Mak speedboats use Krom Luang Chumphon pier. A Trat hotel's guide says Laem Ngop pier itself is mainly for fishing boats. Our Trat guide explains the piers.
3. Do not plan on the Cambodian border. Thai-Cambodia land crossings have been suspended since 2025 per the UK FCDO, and a Trat hotel's own page says all land crossings are closed. Several hotel sites still describe Hat Lek as an easy day trip; ignore that until the crossing is reported open by an official source.

How you arrive

Songthaew or taxi to the piers; bus station in town

Five hotels here, from Trat 101 Hotel in the old town to Chivapuri Residence near the bus station, Baan Rim Nam on the Bang Phra canal, and Trat City Hotel and Avada Hotel on Sukhumvit Road. Trat 101 says its night market is within walking distance and that it arranges island transfers; its pier guides name the piers for each island. Wikivoyage lists Wat Buppharam, Soi Rai Rang night market and the Trat National Museum among the town's sights.

Choose it if: You want to walk to food and the bus station, and use Trat as a stop rather than a beach.

Skip it if: You want sand and swimming at the door.

Mistake to avoid: Do not assume every town hotel is in the old town; two are on Sukhumvit Road, so check the walking distance on the map.

Banpu Resort Trat gives its address in Nong Kan Song, Muang Trat, and says it is only 15 km from town. Its site lists kayaking, cycling, a mangrove walk and a pool, and says it is pet-friendly with rooms from 45 square metres and a lake view. The photo shown is a Commons picture of a mangrove and black-sand shore in Laem Ngop district, not the resort.

Choose it if: You want a quiet mangrove setting and are happy to drive into town for dinner.

Skip it if: You want a sandy beach or to be able to walk to the night market.

Mistake to avoid: Do not treat 15 km as walkable; arrange your own transport for evenings in town.

Short drive to the Koh Chang ferry; airport about 15 km by the hotel's figure

Lomtalay Resort Trat says it is beside the sea, 2 km from the Koh Chang ferry pier, 15 km from Trat airport and 24 km from Trat town, and pitches itself for a night before Koh Chang or Koh Mak. Its address is in Khlong Yai subdistrict of Laem Ngop district, which is not the Khlong Yai district near the border. A Trat hotel's pier guide says Laem Ngop pier itself is mainly for fishing boats.

Choose it if: You are catching the Koh Chang ferry early or arriving late, and want to sleep near it.

Skip it if: You want restaurants and a night market on foot.

Mistake to avoid: Do not confuse Khlong Yai subdistrict in Laem Ngop with Khlong Yai district; and confirm which pier is the 2 km one.

Centara Chaan Talay Resort & Villas Trat says it is 40 minutes from town and 60 minutes from the airport, with a 400-metre beach, an infinity pool with a children's area and free kayaks. Centara itself calls the location remote.

Choose it if: You want a pool-and-beach stay on the mainland and have a car or a transfer.

Skip it if: You want to eat out in town or catch an early ferry.

Mistake to avoid: Do not plan to commute to the piers from here; the drives are 40 minutes or more.

De Veranio Resort lists 13 Deluxe rooms and beachfront pool villas, and sells a day trip to snorkel at the Koh Rang islands with a boat pick-up at the resort. Mai Rut Beach Eco-Camp offers a sea-view suite, tents and a campsite on Banchuen beach.

Choose it if: You want a quiet coast, simple or camping stays, or a snorkelling trip from your hotel.

Skip it if: You want to be close to Trat town or to the piers.

Mistake to avoid: Do not plan a Cambodia crossing from here; the Hat Lek crossing is suspended, though two hotel sites here still mention the border.

Getting to Trat

Trat has an airport run by Bangkok Airways, long-distance buses and vans from Bangkok, and piers for the islands. The button opens the 12Go Bangkok to Trat page, which on 16 October 2026 listed 27 companies and 78 departures a day, the earliest at 5:00 AM and the latest at 4:15 PM. We do not quote its fares because the page showed two different 'from' figures. Check the arrival point, which pier you need and the last boat before you book. Our Trat guide covers the piers and the airport.

Before you book

• Open the map link for the area and then check the hotel's exact pin. A neighbourhood name can cover a wide area.
• Check the final rate with tax, payment timing, cancellation terms and what the room includes.
• If arriving late, confirm the check-in method and the last transport that actually runs.
• Mainland hotels vary a lot in how far they are from town. Mairood Resort's own pages give both 53 km and about 35 km from Trat, so ask the hotel for the driving time from the place you will arrive, not only the distance.
• Several hotel sites on this page are in Thai first and some footers are dated 2023, so confirm current rooms, rates and policies by phone or message before you book a non-refundable room.
