Trat Province

The terrain of Trat Province ranges from forested mountains along the Cambodian border to low coastal plains beside the Gulf of Thailand, giving the province both a mainland shore and a scattered island zone. Ko Chang, Thailand’s second-largest island, is the best-known of these islands and forms the core of Mu Ko Chang National Park, where rainforest-covered slopes meet the sea. Mangroves, fishing communities and fruit orchards are part of the mainland economy, while Trat town serves as the provincial centre near the Cambodian frontier. Offshore waters also carry a wartime memory: the Battle of Ko Chang was fought here in 1941 during the Franco-Thai War.
