BY PRIVATE CAR
 Trat is accessible by three main routes from Bangkok. Travelling time is about 4 hours.For convenience and better road surface use the elevated BANGKOK-CHONBURI TOLLWAY until its final exit or the BANGKOK-CHONBURI MOTORWAY and exit for BAN BUNG-KLAENG-CHANTHABURI.
ROUTE ONE
BANGNA-CHONBURI-BAN BUNG-KLAENG-CHANTHABURI-TRAT
DISTANCE : 315 KILOMETERS
This is the more preferred route with the following details:
(1) Take highway No.3 ( BANGNA-TRAT ROAD) until you reach
the Chonburi by-pass. You can either take the normal road or the new elevated BANGKOK-CHONBURI TOLLWAY which is right above it.
Toll fee is 55 Baht.
(2) Exit from the main road,head to the left and follow the Chonburi by-pass that reads Pattaya-Rayong.
(3) Head for Rayong until you see the BAN BUNG-KLAENG-CHANTHABURI and the BANG SAEN-PATTAYA signboards.
(4) Take the BAN BUNG-KLAENG-CHANTHABURI route on your left.
You are now on highway no.344
(5) Turn right at the BAN BUNG-KLAENG intersection and head for KLAENG only until you reach the CHANTHABURI-RAYONG junction.Take the left route to CHANTHABURI but do not enter the town which is on your right. This is again highway No.3. Instead go forward until you
reach the SA KAEW-TRAT junction.
(6) Take the right turn and go all the way to the town of Trat.
(7) Alternatively, you can head directly to the three piers without passing through Trat town.Look for the signboard Laem Ngop at the LAEM NGOB-TRAT junction.Notice there is a PTT petrol station to your left before the junction.Turn right to LAEM NGOB.This is Highway no. 3156 (LAEM NGOB-SAEN TUNG ROAD).You will reach AO THAMMACHAT followed by CENTRE POINT and KROMALUANG CHUMPORN Piers.
ROUTE TWO
The Motorway is another alternative. Starting from Rama IX Road and onto Srinakarin Road, exit after paying the second toll that leads to Ban Bung, Klaeng, Chanthaburi and finally Trat. The total toll fee is 60 Baht
ROUTE THREE
BANGNA-CHONBURI-RAYONG-CHANTHABURI-TRAT
DISTANCE : 385 KILOMETERS
This is the other route using the same highway No.3 but takes longer as you need to pass through the province of Chonburi. |
