Trat Information
Trat: the quiet gateway to Thailand's eastern islands
Trat is famous among tourists for being the gateway to Cambodia or the place where they can extend their tourist visa, however, many people don't know that Trat province hides a collection of natural settings that are totally breath-taking. This region features fresh weather, colorful reefs, white sand, and large beaches mixed with the charming Thai culture characterized by old buildings, eccentric temples, and vivid markets. This destination is definitely an escape for those who are looking for a calm and quiet city, yet, rich in things to do and see.
For most travellers, Trat is both a destination in its own right and the mainland launch point for a run of islands in the Gulf of Thailand. It is the province you pass through on the way to the sand, and the one worth slowing down in before you board.
Where you can travel from Trat
There are currently 12 routes bookable routes connecting Trat with the surrounding islands and mainland stops. The best-known crossings link Trat with Koh Kood and Koh Mak — two of the calmer islands in the far east of the Thai gulf, with clear water and far fewer crowds than the country's headline beach destinations.
Popular connections
- Trat to Koh Kood — the largest of the eastern islands, known for waterfalls, coconut plantations and long quiet beaches.
- Trat to Koh Mak — a small, flat, low-key island that is easy to explore by bicycle or scooter.
- Return crossings from both islands back to the Trat mainland piers.
Browse the full list of departures on the Trat routes and timetable page, or open the island pages for ferries to Koh Kood and ferries to Koh Mak to compare crossings from the island side.
Operators serving Trat
Services on these routes are run by operators including Boonsiri High Speed Ferries and Seudamgo. Each operator sets its own departure points, timings and onboard conditions, so it is worth checking the details attached to the specific service you select rather than assuming they are identical.
Live departure times, current fares from ฿550 and the vehicle or vessel used on each service are shown against every Boonsiri High Speed Ferries and Seudamgo result in the search panel, because these change by season and by day of the week.
How to get to Trat
Trat sits in Thailand's far east, close to the Cambodian border, roughly a full day's travel from the capital by road. Most travellers arrive by long-distance road transport from Bangkok or from the eastern seaboard towns, or fly into the small regional airport that serves the province.
If you are travelling onward from another part of Thailand, search your origin city and Trat together — through-tickets that combine a road leg with an island crossing are sometimes available as a single booking, which saves buying each stage separately.
Piers and departure points
Island crossings from Trat leave from piers on the coast rather than from the town centre itself. The pier used depends on the operator and the route, so the confirmed departure point always appears on your ticket after booking.
Allow extra time to reach the pier from Trat town or the airport, and arrive early enough to check in, particularly in high season when boats fill up.
Practical travel information
- Seasonality: the eastern gulf islands have a distinct dry and rainy season, and some services reduce or pause during the wettest months. Check availability for your exact dates rather than assuming year-round operation.
- Luggage: allowances differ between operators. Review the conditions shown with your chosen service before paying.
- Booking ahead: the islands served from Trat are small, and seats on popular crossings sell out during Thai and international holidays.
- Tickets: your confirmation lists the operator, departure point and boarding time — keep it accessible on your phone or printed.
- Border travel: if you are combining your trip with a Cambodia crossing or a visa run, check current entry requirements with official sources before you travel.
What to see and do in Trat
The old town rewards an unhurried walk: wooden shophouses, small temples and a riverside canal district that still feels lived-in rather than staged. The daytime and evening markets are the easiest way to eat well here, and prices stay local.
Beyond town, the province's coastline and mangroves are the draw — quiet beaches, fishing villages and reef-fringed water that makes Trat a natural base for snorkelling trips out to the islands. Many visitors treat the town as a one-night stop before an early boat, but a second day is easy to fill.

Frequently asked questions
What are the tourist seasons ?
Phuket
Phuket really just has two seasons, which are known as "high season" and "low season" (or "green season"). During the low season months (May–September), boat numbers are reduced. During the high season (October–April), boats to the surrounding islands are increased so you will have some more options.
Koh Samui
There are three distinct weather seasons on the tropical island of Koh Samui: the dry season (December until February), the hot season (March until August) and the rainy season (September until November).
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How long am I locked out for?
The first lock is one minute. If sign-in keeps failing after that, each further lock lasts longer:
- 1st lock — 1 minute
- 2nd lock — 5 minutes
- 3rd lock — 15 minutes
- 4th lock and after — 1 hour
An hour is the longest you will ever be locked out. You get five attempts before the first lock, and as soon as you sign in successfully everything resets — the next time you mistype, you start again at one minute.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
