The excitement of a border province and the great escape of Thailand's second largest island, rugged mountains and idyllic beaches can be found here . Situating 315 kms from Bangkok , Trat is the furthest province along Thailand's east coast , covering an area of 2862 sq kms . Along the western edge, the Khao Banthat mountain range forms the border with Cambodia, while off the eastern coast are more than 50 large and small islands with long white sandy beaches and unspoiled coral reef. The rugged hinterland blends earth scared by years of mining for rubies with lush area of fruit orchards . The name " Trat" is believed to be a corruption of Krat , a tree used for making brooms. During the Ayutthaya period, the town was called " Ban Bang Phra".
Some of the best buys are Siam rubies, Thai desserts and fruits.
