| Trang Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see photo_33 The city of Trang with a population about 600,000 used to be an important trading port in former centuries. During the Ayuthaya period, Trang was a common port of entry for Western visitors. Most visitors come to see the nearby beaches and islands. Like the provinces of Krabi and Phang Nga, Trang has a geography of limestone mountains pocked with caves and fine sandy beaches facing beautiful idyllic islands. Fortunately Trang has not been taken over by the tourism industry. The reason is simply that it already has a fully developed economy, based on the rubber plantations that have flourished since the end of the last century. The seafood industry, tin and barite mining have also been well established to support the workforce of Trang. Apart from the province's appealing tropical islands, the interior is strewn with caves, waterfalls, hot springs and lakes. You can find this beautiful nature twenty km north of the rather uninteresting provincial capital. Trang or Muang Thap Thiang used to be a port involved in foreign trade. It was the first city where rubber was planted. Phraya Ratsadanupradit Mahison Phakdi brought rubber from Malaysia and planted it here before anywhere else in southern Thailand in 1899. Rubber is now considered an important commodity of Thailand. The important Trang River flows through the province from its origin in the Khao Luang mountain range and the Palian River from the Banthat mountain range. Trang is a coastal province on the Indian Ocean with a long western coastline of about 199 kilometres. The province consists of an archipelago in the Andaman Sea with over 46 islands. Of these, 12 are in Amphoe Kantang, 13 in Amphoe Palian and 21 in Amphoe Sikao. The best time for sea travel is during October to May of the following year. Trang has a total area of 4,941 square kilometres and is divided into 9 districts (Amphoe) and 1 sub-district (King Amphoe); Amphoe Kantang, Amphoe Huai Yot, Amphoe Yan Ta Khao, Amphoe Palian, Amphoe Sikao, Amphoe Wang Wiset, Amphoe Na Yong, Amphoe Ratsada, and King Amphoe Hat Samran. ________Getting There Edit This By car Getting to Trang From Suratthani, Route 4 and 41 head south to Thung-Song 786 kilometres.

The water here is not the best for swimming, but the flat sandy beach is perfect for strolling along. In November the calm waters fill up with hawy thapao, a delicious type of clam. At low tide the locals swarm onto the beach to collect the delicacy. Off the shoreline, the mystical limestone rock formations protrude from the sea type: general World66 rating: [rate it] |
