Trang Thailand Island City Trang Thailand

Trang Thailand province,

is a hidden gem in terms of gorgeous islands, great beaches and beautiful beach resorts. There are exotic islands in emerald green tropical water of the Andaman Sea. A beach can be found everywhere either at the main coast or at many islands. Flights to Trang come in every day via Bangkok and nearby Krabi International Airport, it’s mainly Thai Airways via Bangkok Airport and Tiger Airways via Singapore's Changi Airport which open up Krabi, Ko Lanta and the other area for the international passengers.

There is no shortage on hotel and great resorts in this Andaman Sea archipelago. There are more than 50 islands. Many traveler mix up this Thai province with the Tarutao Archipelago and Koh Lipe Thailand which are in Satun Province further down south west, that’s Tarutao Thailand.

Plenty of Trang hotels and resorts,

the best is to travel either via bus from Bangkok, Phuket or Singapore and Malaysia via Hat Yai settle the first day at the hotel in the city, get orientation and sort out your travel options. Just around the corner of that hotel (about Baht 600,- per night) is the Tourist Office where any information is available. At the hotel is also a travel agent means everything is quick and efficient. When booking a package at one of the island resorts they will pick you up at the airport take you to the speed boat and off you go one of the best known islands is Koh Mook.

Seafood is plenty, beaches are marvelous and snorkeling and sightseeing tours e.g. Morakot Cave also called Emerald caves and other places are outstanding. There is one up market beach hotel at the south end of Pak Meng beach about

20 km from the city which is very popular by Thai guys to for a weekend with their second wife or rather girl friends, it’s the Amari Trang, but this place is very isolated, there is nothing around. Most hotels and resorts offer day trips to other places with the speed boat such as Ko Lanta, Phi Phi Islands, Morakot Cave or Emerald caves or maybe just a ride between the islands with a longtail boat.

Trang islands are spots in the ocean off the southern west coast of Thailand. The archipelago is about 300 km north of the the Thailand Malaysian border and about 300 km south of Phuket. The archipelago offers a perfect blend of southern Thailand island and beach beauty with its nature, history and cultural traditions. One pier is at Pak Meng Beach and a bigger one at Kantang west of the city. All islands of the archipelago can easily be reached by longtail boats, private boats and other bigger boats which are often sightseeing ships moving between the coast and the islands, more, in southern Thailand with breathtaking pictures and photos plus videos. There are kilometers of great beaches along the coast and on the islands. Weather is also fine even during monsoon times. There are plenty of beach resorts on the islands. The best beach resort is at the southern part of Pak Meng Beach, its the Amari hotel. This beach resort is very popular by guys from Bangkok who go for a weekend with their girlfriends without being seen. On the Trang islands are all kind of other hotels and resorts. There are also quite cheap hotels and resorts in the archipelago, in general its one of the best sea / beach vacation

destination in Thailand with marvelous islands such as Koh Mook if you want to have it quiet. Since the city has its own airport flights to the province are several every day out of Bangkok airport. Flights to are not coming in from international destinations since this is not an international airport, only domestic. The closest international Airports are Phuket Airport and Krabi Airport,  there are several flights from Bangkok every day. Travel from Phuket to via Krabi its a smooth 300 km ride in a very comfortable bus, there are also other buses from Bangkok to Trang from the north and from Hat Yai to Trang when coming from the southern Thailand border from the Malaysia, Penang, Langkawi or Kuala Lumpur. Buses from Phuket leave every hour and the bus travel takes about 4-5 hours. Traveling to Ko Tarutao and the archipelago is via Satun, there is a coastal road from to Satun. The city has a laid back ambience and the Pak Meng Beach

Koh Mook

area is about 20km to the west. To explore the islands in the archipelago start either at the north end of Pak Meng Beach, there is a jetty with long tail boats, but boats are there only in the morning and at any weather conditions. A other small harbor to start a tour is at Kantang south of Pak Meng. Actually all bigger boats or vessels above long tail boat size start from there to the islands.

Trang pictures show the most exciting drop in the ocean of Asia. The little islands and islets have one thing in common, beautiful islands and beaches bringing an almost paradise feeling. The Islands are a great favorite with honeymooners, every year underwater marriages are done by scuba diving enthusiasts just off the islands. Hundreds of holiday-makers are coming in from all over the world to enjoy the mild temperature of a endless summer, more.

The Archipelago is relatively close to Phuket and Krabi,

it’s a real hidden gem with emerald waters and no rush. In the archipelago are around 50 islands, small and big. The archipelago is just in front of the endless beach which starts with the Pak Meng Beach about 15 km west of Trang city and ends about 20 km further south. The archipelago is a perfect mixture of beautiful islands, some sea caves and bizarre limestone formations.

This province in southern Thailand is far away of the path where the usual tourists run, its s real secret of southern Thailand, but on the other hand nightlife is almost zero, absolute no match to Phuket nightlife. There are plenty of hotels, beach resorts, restaurants and a very relaxed atmosphere. All hotels on the islands are low key resorts, means buildings not higher than the palm trees, no nightlife or similar. Trang city is 300 km south east of Phuket but with a totally different tourism philosophy.

Koh Mook is one of the best islands in the archipelago. Some Thailand national park are around, rent a car for a day or two and explore the Thailand National Parks. Use our website as a virtual Thailand travel guide for your tours.

The best place to get some information in the city is the tourist office on the main street, just around the corner from the Trang Hotel. They have the most diverse information and lots of leaflets available on tours and hotels.

You could also stay at this hotel at the main square in the city. The hotel is quite cheap, around 600 - 800 baht per night. The hotel is not the newest but has everything needed. There is even a Thai style massage parlor where the girls give you a great Thai massage and more, if you like, The restaurant of the hotel is not very good. 

The province islands lie in the Andaman sea just south of Krabi.

Over forty islands make up the archipelago of islands and sandy beaches. The protected waters around the islands are full of secluded sheltered bays to hide away in. Hire a long tail boat and drop your anchor, maybe spend a night on the beach off the crystal clear waters of your own personal paradise.

Pak Meng Beach provides a great starting point for your vacation. There are not many first class accommodations, actually the only top beach resort is the Amari hotel at the southern end of Pak Meng Beach, but at the islands are plenty of cheap beach resorts, hotels, beach cottages and other beach accommodations, of course as well there are shopping facilities and restaurants.

You can book all your tours from any resorts. Within easy reach of every islands are great attractions such as Morakot or emerald cave, coral reefs and limestone islands with great beaches, snorkeling and scuba diving are a great experience.

On Koh Mook and other islands in the archipelago are plenty of beach hotels, very popular and great holiday spot with spectacular sandy island beaches and a great atmosphere created by nature. Koh Mook has breathtaking views over the Andaman Sea; you can enjoy the serenity and tranquility of a beautiful seaside.

This are romantic haven with an exotic ambiance, the beach hotels are well-designed structures embedded in a exotic island world. At Trang City are some karaoke lounges and Thai style "cafe" with pretty Thai girls.

Trang beaches are excellent, so are the roads and no political problems such as in the very south of Thailand and is ready for discovering and exploring.

Trang history shows that the city is a trade center since about 2000 years. Between the 6 th. and 12 th. century the city was an important seaport for trade towards the Malay Peninsular and the Islands of today's

You can wade far into the water it’s only sand with few stones or corals always very flat, wear shoes or diving boots to protect your feet. A whole lot of Islands invites a Robinson play, one of the more interesting and bigger is Ko Muk, (Ko or Koh for island).

Libong island is interesting for birdwatcher, specifically during the “colder” season (December - April) waders can be spotted, like Crab Plover, Joo Hoy Cape and Toog Beach are a good watching site.

On the Islands you may see otters, water monitor, pacific reef-egret, white-bellied sea eagle, monitor lizards, longtail macaques, dusky langurs, wild boar, pangolin, little heron etc. The sea grass beds are the spawning and feeding area for diverse species like fish, prawns, turtle, and the dugong. An appreciable canoe tour is offered to the Chao May Cave. All this are one of the best hidden secrets in the Thailand tourism world. This area of southern Thailand is probably together with Phang Nga and Krabi one of the best vacation spots for beach vacation in southern Thailand.

As you can see in the pictures, photos and videos this area its hardly to beat for a great south east Asia holiday. We also included a map to give you a idea about the location.

There are plenty of beach resorts, either as simple accommodations, beach bungalows or cottages. Its a perfect hideaway for people who want to get away, maybe for honeymooners or others who are  just  fed up to have all this nonsense around. Trang in Thailand is for  vacations with great  weather, beaches, islands just the right travel Thailand spot. The archipelago consists of dozens of limestone islands with caves, beaches, underwater caves and what is called “hongs” in Thai, means caves where the ceiling collapsed due to erosion over time and which are accessible by swimming or diving through a channel to enter, usually they have a small beach inside as you can see in the pictures of the Morakot cave.

Trang province

probably has the best nature spots in the whole area between Phuket and the Malaysian border, amazingly there are almost no tourists around, this is a real insider destination. The thing is there is only a very limited hotel and resorts infrastructure. A good example is that in the whole province is only one bigger beach resort, that's the Amari at Pak Meng Beach south.
