2025 Trat Province Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

The restaurant is located by the roadside and is easy to spot. There are quite a few tables available. This is a specialized Pad Thai restaurant with no other menu items. Today, I decided to order a plate of Pad Thai with fresh shrimp for 65 baht. The Pad Thai here looks quite unique as it is topped with an omelet-like egg and shrimp placed on top. In terms of taste, I personally found it a bit too sweet, but after adding some seasoning, it became more balanced and delicious. The restaurant offers free vegetables for self-service, and you can take as much as you want. 📍Address: Red light intersection at the City Pillar Shrine, Trat.

This is another fantastic spicy salad restaurant that uses only fresh seafood. The flavors are truly bold and spicy, living up to its name. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and comfortable, not crowded. 📍 Location: Entrance to Wat Nong Samet, 1 kilometer past the bridge towards the Volunteer Defense Corps camp. Look for the Zaab Rim Lay sign on the right. ⏰ Opening hours: The restaurant is closed on days when fresh seafood is not available. Check the restaurant's page for opening days or call ahead. ☎️ For inquiries, call 0925605935

Thur’s Day FOX Cafe is a charming coffee shop located on Nern Ta Maew Road. The cafe promotes environmental awareness by using biodegradable cups and straws. They offer a wide variety of drinks, including coffee, tea, smoothies, and a rotating selection of delicious desserts. We highly recommend trying their waffles, which are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and have a delightful buttery aroma. During the current vegetarian festival, they also offer special drinks made with almond milk instead of regular milk. Due to the latest COVID-19 situation, the cafe is temporarily not offering dine-in services until the situation improves. Customers can order takeout or use various delivery services.

After staying on Koh Chang for three days, I like it more and more. Koh Chang is also part of Thailand's inner gulf, with calm seas and no natural disasters like typhoons or tsunamis. There are many indigenous people on the island, and Thailand's three major supermarkets and a large private hospital have branches on Koh Chang, making life very convenient. The hotels here are mostly a mix of apartments and villas, with both standalone and two-story villas, each about 50 square meters in size with very complete facilities, though it feels like a lot of space and functionality is wasted, such as the surf bathtub. Most hotels are by the sea, and the villa areas have exclusive swimming pools facing the sea, with very rich breakfasts. Whether at the swimming pool or the restaurant, there are always Chinese people around. At the viewpoint, I witnessed a minor car accident. A foreigner, unfamiliar with driving, scratched a Thai convoy. There was no argument; everyone patiently waited for the police to arrive and make a report for the insurance company, truly calm and peaceful. At the hotel, I met a Russian mother and daughter. The daughter was very lively and outgoing, liked to pose for photos, and spoke good English. They welcomed us to visit Russia. I believe that families who can now leave Russia to enjoy tourism abroad are probably not ordinary people. Koh Chang, I will come again!

Thailand's Elephant Island is the second largest island in Thailand. It is named after its shape resembling a lying elephant, and also because King Rama V of Thailand once visited the island, making it famous. Experience the liveliness of Phuket, witness the prosperity of Similan Island, and enjoy the summer of Koh Samui. You must come to the pure and natural, tranquil and flawless Elephant Island, where there are orange beaches and sunsets that belong to you. The pure white sandy beaches, crystal clear blue sea, lush green forests and mountains can be seen everywhere, like the Peach Blossom Spring in Tao Yuanming's pen. On the island, people usually gather on the west coast, which is divided into several distinct beaches: White Sand Beach, Kongpao Beach, Kabei Beach, and Lonely Beach. The famous Bangbao Fishing Village is located near Kabei Beach, and it takes a relatively primitive road section to get there. On the east coast, most of the residents are indigenous people, and of course there are also some homestays and hotels, but there are two beautiful mangrove forests on the east coast. Tips The consumption level is okay, and there are roadside stalls selling rice with toppings. Between 30-50 baht, home-style dishes are priced between 70-80 baht. From March to May, the climate on Elephant Island is hot and dry, while from June to October it is the rainy season. On the island, you can only rent a car for self-driving or rent a motorcycle. Most hotels, restaurants, and bars are clustered on the west coast. "The Chinese Restaurant" was filmed at the White Sand Beach, which is also a relatively lively and well-developed beach. Island hopping does not cover the entire island, as some parts of the island are not yet open. Sea urchins can be found everywhere, you can pick them up, but be careful not to get pricked. Transportation: You can depart from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport with a round-trip ticket for 900 baht or a one-way ticket for 600 baht. You can also take a bus from Trat province. In half an hour, arrive at the pier and transfer to the ferry to Xiang Island. Special features of the amusement park. Give the baby elephant a bath, enjoy a seaside spa, hop to an island, and go diving. Off-road vehicle jungle exploration, waterfall diving, and sea fishing.

Arrival method: Bangkok car and boat intermodal transport. 7-9 hours. Geographically located next to an island.

It was a super fabulous scenery! There are many mangroves here where you can see them easily while you are eating. The weather is also not too hot because you are sitting near the river. In addition, the food (especially seafood) is sooooo delicious. Yummy! I highly recommend it. If you traval to Trat province, please don't forget this restaurant called "ทิวธารา".#foodie #spooktaculartrip

The Chinese restaurant is the same as the island of Koh Chang. The entrance to the Gala Youth Hostel is a large sea. Prepare to watch the sunset for five days. (Of course, as shown in Figure 5, there is no day and night to drink.)
