Trang is a province in southern Thailand, full of lush nature, rubber plantations, caves, waterfalls and beaches. It faces the Andaman Sea and includes an archipelago of beautiful islands.
Trang is less well known than Krabi, which makes it a peaceful place for travellers looking for a quieter side of Thailand. Good transport makes it easy to explore the province.
Trang
Trang is not as famous as other parts of Thailand, but its beaches, small villages and national parks and reserves can surprise visitors. In the heart of the province, past many kilometres of rubber plantations, you will find Khlong Lam Chan, a park devoted to the protection of waterbirds, where you can follow a peaceful nature trail. The province also has a long coastline, an archipelago in the Andaman Sea and Hat Pak Meng, five kilometres of sandy beach.
Trang is still less known than Phuket or Krabi, but it has improved its facilities and transport for tourists while keeping its Thai traditions. You can start from Trang town, the provincial capital, and then explore the rest of the province. As in many other parts of Thailand, the best time to visit is from November to April.
