Trat Islands Experience Surge in Tourism During Long Weekend
Over 20,000 tourists have flocked to Trat province's major islands for the four-day holiday period starting October 23, 2026.
According to a report by Thai Post, the province of Trat is seeing a significant influx of visitors during the four-day long weekend spanning October 23 to 26, 2026. The surge in tourism is particularly concentrated on the region's three primary islands: Koh Chang, Koh Kood, and Koh Mak.
Activity at the Laem Sok pier in Ao Yai sub-district, Mueang Trat district, has been notably busy as travelers coordinate their transit to these popular island destinations. Local authorities and tourism operators are managing the arrival of more than 20,000 tourists who have chosen the province for their holiday break.
For travelers and residents, this high volume of visitors suggests that ferry services and local transport hubs will be operating at peak capacity. Those planning to travel within the area should anticipate potential congestion at piers and increased demand for island accommodation. While the current influx highlights the popularity of Trat’s coastal attractions, it remains to be confirmed how this surge will impact local infrastructure and service availability throughout the remainder of the holiday period. Visitors are encouraged to check with local transport providers for real-time updates on ferry schedules and traffic conditions.
