Economy
[ edit ]
Trat, favored by its proximity to the Cambodian border, is of some importance as a trading city. The area around Trat is rich in gemstone mines, whose yield (rubies and sapphires) is processed right in the town. Fruit growing is also important: durian , rambutan and mangosteen are the main products.
For tourists, Trat is more interesting as a starting point to the large islands of Ko Chang and Ko Mak .
The city of Trat had 10,207 inhabitants as of 2012[update] [14]
