If you are
already in the area the best start is go to the tourist office beside the
Trang hotel in Trang city and book a tour.
This makes sure
to see the good stuff and keeps problems away not only
because of language problems.
On a few islands small resorts, bungalows or beach huts make
sure there is something for everyone.
The seaside is inhabited by fishing communities, many
Muslim, who migrated from the Malay peninsular in the last
few hundred years. Their villages are around the mouths of
the rivers flowing into the Andaman Sea.
The Flora
consists of evergreen forest, beach forest, limestone forest
mangrove forest.
From Pak Meng Pier speedboats and
Longtailboats could be hired, theoretically. If you go
there everyone shakes the shoulder and tells, me lou, which
means nobody know, they charge 1800 Baht per day if you can
find somebody. That is the main reason why its the best to
book a tour, it will safe you time and you wont get upset.
Along the coast extends a 20 - 30 m wide light-yellow sandy
beach for approximately 20 km. This starts in the north with
the Pak Meng beach - at the horizon some bizarre rock
formations -.
Farther south Chang beach joins the stretch, the Bae
- Na hill nearby has some ancient rock paintings to show.
Pine trees line the sand, actually one wishes for palms, but
well one cannot have everything.

Trang Islands invites a Robinson play |
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. |
A mysterious

Swimming into Morakot cave Trang Ko Muk |
The cave entrance approximately 10 m wide - partially
is under water and can be entered at low tide with a Kayak,
of course one can swim in also through the approximately 80
m long canal.
At the end of the canal the rock formation
opens upward into a big hall and you can see the sky, as you
can see in the above picture or photo. |
Entrance to Morakot cave Trang Ko Muk |
At the sandy beach of the hall, one can now wait for midday,
the sun now closes in, the water reflect a emerald gleam -
therefore the name -, in every case an fabulous optical
impression.

In order to come to the cave, a boat service is offered from
Kuan Tung Ku Pier, the ship leaves every morning at 8
o’clock, price 40 Baht, Longtailboat to do a private tour
are available for approximately 400 Baht, is a great
experience, The only problem with this longtailboats is,
they have no muffler, that means after 10 minutes you are
half deaf.
The regular boat arrives at the Sapanyao pier and it needs a longtailboat (100 Baht) to come to the cave on the other
side of the island.
