  If you prefer public transportation, take a bus from Bangkok’s Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekkamai) to Trat. The bus ride typically takes around 5-6 hours and costs about 250-400 THB. Upon arrival at Trat Bus Station, you can take a local songthaew (shared taxi) to Laem Ngop. The fare for the songthaew is approximately 20-30 THB. Ask the driver to drop you off at the Yuttanavi Memorial Monument, which is only a short distance from Laem Ngop.

• Taxi

  For a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from Trat Bus Station to the Yuttanavi Memorial Monument. This option is more convenient, especially if you have luggage. The fare for the taxi may range from 150 to 300 THB, depending on your negotiation skills and the time of day.

• Motorbike Rental

  For the adventurous traveler, consider renting a motorbike in Trat. Rental shops are available at the bus station. After renting a bike, follow the same route towards Laem Ngop via Highway 3. Ensure you have a valid driving license and wear a helmet. The rental cost is typically around 150-250 THB per day.
