The province capital Trat is
situated 300 kilometres southeast from Bangkok. 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).

about arrival and departure.

expensive hotel.
