Trat A small province at the eastern-most frontier bordering on Cambodia with the Khao Banthat mountain range forming a natural demarcation, Trat is a resort town with over fi fty large and small off -shore islands, long white sandy beaches and unspoiled coral ranges. It is also a major fruit-growing and fi shing area. About 315 kilometres from Bangkok and covering an area of 2,819 square kilometres, the province is administratively divided into the districts of Mueang Trat, Khao Saming, Laem Ngop, Khlong Yai and Bo Rai, and the sub-districts of Ko Chang and Ko Kut. History Trat is a seaport mostly suitable for mooring ships, loading goods, trade exchange, refi lling food and freshwater for ships. It is therefore a community site of Chinese merchants who travelled to trade. 03-90 im3.indd 5 11/16/12 7:55 PM 6 Trat was considered among the trade centre cities of Southeast Asia in the late Ayutthaya period. A lot of goods that were sent to sell overseas, especially forest things; such as, deer’s horns, animal hides, scented wood, and spices, were brought from the forest and mountainous zone of the eastern coast including Rayong, Chanthaburi, and Trat. Such goods were carried by river and along the Khao Saming Mountain to reach the mouth of the Gulf of Trat. In the independence war, King Taksin the Great chose Trat as a bumper outpost to provide food for the troops before he moved the naval army from Chanthaburi. In the reign of King Rama I the Great, Trat was still an important seaport, as it used to be in the Ayutthaya period. During the reign of King Rama III, Thailand fought in a war with Chao Anuwong, the ruler of Vientiane, who later took sides with Vietnam. Thailand and Vietnam were in confl ict and a war broke out in 1828. Trat was a site of gathering soldiers and food, and a military fortress and camp was established at Ban Laem Hin in the Gulf of Trat. In the reign of King Rama V the Great, France sent its naval troops to seize Chanthaburi in 1893 (Ro So 112), and returned it to Thailand in 1904 in exchange for Trat, covering from Laem Sing to Ko Kut, and Patchantakhirikhet (Ko Kong). Later, the Thai government came to realise that Trat was of strategic importance, and that most of the people there were Thai. However, with the intelligence of King Rama V the Great, France agreed to make a contract to return Trat and Dan Sai on the right bank of the Mekong River (when facing the mouth of the river) to Thailand in exchange for Battambong, Siem Reap, and Sri Sophon, on 23 March, 1906. The handover ceremony was performed by Phraya Maha Ammattayathipbodi, then Phraya Si Thep who held the position of Palat Thunchalong or Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, as the head of the delegation of the Thai government, and Monsieur Rousseau Residant as the head of the delegation of the French government at the Trat Provincial Hall, and the French troops were withdrawn on 6 July, 1907. During the Indochina War (1940-1941), France attempted to seize Trat again on 17 January, 1941, but the Thai navy fought 03-90 im3.indd 6 11/16/12 7:55 PM 7 back courageously to successfully save this strategic city of abundance. In 1978, there was a war in Cambodia, and a hundred thousand Khmers fl ed for their lives into Thailand through the Banthat Mountain Range, an eastern border. Highway 318 running parallel with the Banthat Mountain Range and the coastal line towards Amphoe Khlong Yai became a main strategic route. The war continued until 1986. After that, the path was transformed into a border trade route between Cambodia and Thailand, with the Hat Lek Border Market ending the boundary of Thailand and marking the starting point of travel to Ko Kong. The discovery of “red gems” or “Siamese rubies” in the area of Amphoe Bo Rai in 1971 caused a gems fever and people from all walks of life fl ocked here to try their luck. Prosperity in all aspects happened in Bo Rai and made it a big city being developed alongside with the town of Trat. Its former dense forest area became pitted, and when all precious stones were gone in 1991, Bo Rai was left a deserted city with only shops and buildings as a reminder of its fl ourishing economy in the past.

Course Process Part 1 Part 4 Bangkok Pattaya Part 2 Part 5 Kanchanaburi Rayong Part 3 Part 6 Hua Hin Trat ( Koh Chang ) BANGKOK Bangkok (Krungthep) which means “The City of Angels”, is known as the most vibrant city in South East Asia. It is ranked as No. 1 City of the World according to MasterCard’s latest Global Destination cities Survey. Bangkok welcomes more visitors than any other city in the world and it doesn’t take long to realise why this is a city of extremes with action on every corner: Marvel at the gleaming temples, catch a tuktuk along the bustling Chinatown or take a longtail boat through floating markets. Food is another Bangkok highlight with local dishes served at humble street stalls to haute cuisine at romantic rooftop restaurants. Luxury malls compete with a sea of boutiques and markets where you can treat yourself without over spending. Extravagant five-star hotels and surprisingly cheap but good hotels welcome you with the same famed Thai hospitality. And visit to Bangkok would not be complete without a glimpse of its famous nightlife – from cabarets to exotic nightlife districts, Bangkok never ceases to amaze.
