It has well over 20,000 inhabitants and is mostly used as a stop-off point for visitors to Ko Chang, Ko Kood or one of the other islands in the Mu Ko Chang National Park.   Trat is also the starting point for the journey via Ko Kong to Sihanouk Ville, Cambodia. Or via Aranya Prathet and Siam Reap to Angkor Wat, the biggest temple ruin in the world, also situated in Cambodia (see Angkor-Wat-Special). (See Ko Chang Information, Arrival & Departure: 6) Onward Travelling.) On this page you'll also find more general information about arrival and departure.
