Artist's Place

So as I've previously mentioned, Mr John did sterling work in securing us accommodation in Trat the night before we left for Koh Mak.  He's signed up to Agoda (who we've had some seriously good deals through this year) and received an email about this place.



It's only been open since last year and it's a little calm, cool oasis amid the town of Trat.  There's a lovely water feature that seems to instantly calm you.  Not to fear that you're out of the way though.  It's very well located with only a 10 minute walk to either the day or the night market. 

Our room had air-conditioning but because there's no fly-screen in the window or door, they provide a mosquito net for you to sleep under.  Breakfast was perfectly adequate and included in our 700 baht ( roughly GBP£10 / AUD$23) rate.  The owner speaks reasonable English and was very welcoming.

If you turn right when you come out of the hotel and walk about 100 metres, you'll come across Oscar's Bar on a corner.  The owner Sal, makes a fantastic Pad Tai and drinks are reasonably priced and suitably varied.  You can recognise the bar building because it will say "laundry service" on a sign at the back and at the other end of this building is the bar.

We'll definitely stay here again, should the need arise.
