Feb 6, 2010 - Are you in Thailand? Yes Siam

Then a two hour minibus ride at breakneck speed ( fortunately the highways are much better here than in Cambodia) got us to Trat. ... Trat is about the size of Fredericton N. ... So happily ensconced in Trat, we explored. ...

Sep 14, 2009 - Koh Phi Phi- Phuket- Bangkok- Trat - Cambodia

So, Koh Phi Phi is a beautiful island. We booked a bus to Trat, Thailand which is on the eastern seaboard about an hr away from the Cambodia border. ... Booo, but we made it to Trat and we were going to go straight to Cambodia, but realized we were all kind of tired and wouldn't make it to Cambodia till night time, so decided to post up shop in Trat for the night at a nice little guest house, Pops guesthouse and for the 3 of us only 400 a night! Pretty damn awesome. ... And then we booked a 600 baht bus ticket to Cambodia that takes us all the way to Shinakuville.So, Koh Phi Phi is a beautiful island.

May 4, 2009 - Trat

Welcome to Trat. ... We arrived in Trat at 8pm and were taken straight to Nina's parents. ... I went to see if I could get a scooter to go in to town (our motel type place was a bit of a walk from town, and Trat is more like countryside living). ... While we were searching in Trat, the lady at the only dress shop in town, said that her cousin could drive us to Chantabery, 1 hour away- to go shopping. ... I don't know how many times during these 4 days in Trat, that people lent us their scooter, or gave us complimentary rides to our hotel. ...

Jan 25, 2007 - Sihanoukville - Koh Kong - Trat

Na een laatste duik in de Cambodjaanse zee en een stevig ontbijt gingen we per brommertaxi naar de veerboot. De fietsen van de twee amerikanen werden achterop gebonden en zo vertrokken we naar Trat. ... In Trat vonden we al snel een guesthouse, houten gebouw, op het water! Gedeelde badkamer (houten hokje) en door de planken zie je het water stromen, dus het muskietennet is geen overbodige luxe. ... Kost ook weer helemaal niks 120 Baht (2,50 euro).Na een laatste duik in de Cambodjaanse zee en een stevig ontbijt gingen we per brommertaxi naar de veerboot.

Sep 30, 2006 - Onwards to Cambodia Bangkok - Trat (Matt)

I write this from our first hotel in Cambodia (Orchidee in Sihanoukville) watching the lull between torrential rainstorms. A quick walk to the bus station -- in which we went the wrong direction and backtracked a couple of sweaty sticky blocks -- and we had our ticket to Trat. ... We arrived in the Trat bus station in midafternoon. ... A shockingly quiet place compared to the constant noise and chaos of Bangkok.I write this from our first hotel in Cambodia (Orchidee in Sihanoukville) watching the lull between torrential rainstorms.

May 12, 2006 - Pai...to Ko Chang!

So far, the hardest thing about travelling is me making a decision about where I want to go, so spend about 2 hours going around in circles, before I give in and finally let myself go back to Ko Chang!!!!!!!! So, have just got 4 hour bus to Chiang Mai, and have got an overnight bus to Bangkok ahead of me, before getting the early morning bus to Ko Chang.So far, the hardest thing about travelling is me making a decision about where I want to go, so spend about 2 hours going around in circles, before I give in and finally let myself go back to Ko Chang!!!!!!!!
