A good way to start your evening in Trat is to head to the night market for dinner. You can find all kind of delicious and cheap local food here, you might want to try some of the renowned stir-fried noodles. The night market is located at the eastern side of Sukhumvit Road, just about 10 mins walk from the guesthouse area around Thanon Thana Charoen.
You can find a high concentration of foreign oriented bars in the guesthouse district on and around Thanon Thana Charoen. However I found the best nightlife spots in Trat are spread all around town, some within walking distance from Thanon Thana Charoen and for some you will need to arrange transport to get there.
There is no wall at the entrance and so the three tables in front of the bar make a great spot to drink and watch the street life. Check the map below for the locations. The place gets busy at around 10pm when the live band kicks in, playing Thai and international hits. Known as the best hostess bar in Trat, Laser Disc has plenty of attractive girls who will sit, drink and enjoy with you.
The drink prices are incredibly fair, like a small Sang Som bottle costs Baht Regency is Baht , mixers and ice 30 Baht each. Apart from the mentioned bars there are a few but not too many other small bars spread around downtown Trat. You can find most of them in the area north of the night market. Even though there are no happy endings offered at the massage salons in Trat, they are a great place to relax and reward your body after a long day walking around town. The masseuses here are very calm and skilled in what they are doing — totally different to the rushing services you often experience in the bigger cities.
Expect to pay Baht for a Thai massage 1 hour. I am flying in to Bangkok on the 12th Feb and was heading to Siem Reap via a trip down the east coast as far as say Trat,i like the Mu KO Chang Island and I do like the nightlife but not interested to much in crazy Pattaya etc,but still i am an admirer of the Thai girls,would a week be enough and do you have any tips on the best way to go and how long ,as i have one week or would it be better to go a little longer to see all?
