Trat Province island off the east coast near the Cambodian border — Thailand's second-largest island after Phuket, with a mountainous jungle interior and a string of west-coast beaches. White Sand Beach (the dense northern strip) and Lonely Beach (the southern backpacker anchor) are the typical bases. Same Thailand visa story (DTV launched 2024 — 5-year multi-entry, 180 days per stay, ฿500K savings requirement). The structural draws are jungle-interior geography, sub-Phuket pricing, and ferry access from the mainland. Coworking density is thin; the rainy season (May-October) is heavy.
