SUP Aholic Trat

From exploring islands to snorkelling in the vast ocean, you can try many fun activities at Trat. But if you want to try something more relaxing, head to Khao Ra-Kham Reservoir to paddle on a SUP board and see a sinking Buddha statue.

Standup paddleboarding (SUP) is a relaxing water activity you can do on a lake or a river, as you hold onto a paddle and stand on a floating board.

In Trak, SUP Aholic Trat offers you a SUP paddling trip from ฿700 (~USD20.25)/person. The trip consists of a life jacket, necessary equipment, and a paddling lesson. Their staff will also take care of you and snap photos for you.

The highlight here – if you visit during the rainy season – is a sinking white Buddha statue. In summer, the water level can be low enough for you to wade through to pay respects to the Buddha.

You can paddle in two sessions: 7am-9am in the morning and 3pm-5pm in the afternoon. Note that you need to book in advance as walk-ins aren’t allowed.

If you want to paddle with your friends on the same board, go for a giant SUP board for ฿2,500 (~USD72.40)/board. The board can take up to four to six people.
