We just spent 2 nights here. Centara Chaan Talay Resort & Villas Trat
It's a few KMs south of Trat on it's own little beach.
map here if it works... https://maps.google.co.th/maps?q=Cen...885953&t=m&z=8
We left Saturday morning and after about a 5 hour drive we arrived. The drive there is long, bumpy and boring.
Not in the best of moods when we got there but we were soon cheered up by the room and the resort.
Our villa was a detached 2 room sat right on the beach. I think they called it a 'Beachfront Villa'.
inside
the toilet
the mini-bar - 160bht for a tub of pringles... they could fuck right off. We soon decided that a small road trip to the nearest grandma store to stock up on essentials (beer and crisps).
the private jacuzzi, not big enough to fit 1 heavily pregnant wife and her adnois of a husband so i got to sit by the side and chug my beer.
after checking out the room our thoughts immediately went to food. so a small walk for me and a quickish waddle for the wife we reached the restaurant.
a nice traditional Thai lunch..
and then we spent the rest of the day sat on our balcony chilling. Wifey had a jacuzzi while the sun went down and everything was luverly.
The next day was pretty much the same as yesterday minus the car journey.
Breakfast was free and a buffet, I had some Coco pops and some toast.
Here is a picture of the toast...
and then we did a lot of sitting, sleeping and drinking on the beach.
occasionally i'd walk the deserted beach
or read a book
We ate lunch on the beach too.
and chilled a bit more before a late dinner.
It was a very relaxing break, hardly anyone else around, found out it was dog friendly while we were there so missed out on taking the dog unfortunately.
The trip home was longer (about 6 hours) but i think we stopped a lot more.
We got stopped by the police going into Chonburi, they wanted to know why I was driving in the right hand lane... not having a Thai driving licence i was shitting myself but when the wife asked for a receipt and the reason for the fine to be written on it he let us go scot free.
