Bordering Cambodia and situated some 400 kilometres from Bangkok, this eastern province has drawn numerous visitors through its archipelago of 52 (mostly uninhabited) islands in the Muko Chang National Park. The quiet provincial capital of Trat, on the other hand, is well known for its gem markets, both in and near the town, as well as boasting several off-the-beaten-path beach resorts nearby. There are also some lively day and night markets, as well as a bevy of great, reasonably priced seafood restaurants.
