Trat
Trat is the last Thailand's Eastern Province that owns a number of islands and long coastline. Due to its fascinating beauty, Trat is called "the Andaman of the Eastern Sea". Although it is only a small province at the border comprising 6 districts and 2 sub-districts., Trat's outstanding sea and nature enhance the province to the high business growth. Nevertheless, Trat still has many pristine attractions that are not yet popular among tourists. Located not very far from Bangkok, it is quite convenient to visit Trat all by car, by bus and by air.
Located not far from Bangkok and can be visited in any seasons, the island has been a popular tourist destination for more than 10 years, because of the ferry service that enables tourists to bring their vehicles to the island, and the good-conditioned roads to most of the areas on the island. A lot of hotels and resorts as well as bungalows are found anywhere and will increase very soon including complete facilities such as shops, restaurants, bars, mini-marts, post offices, banks , filling stations, internet service, beauty salons etc.
