The province of Trang

General information about the province of Trang

In the South of Krabi, Trang still avoïd the tourist fever of its neighbor. Beautiful beaches, small islands, waterfalls, mountains, beautiful landscapes and accomodations more affordable than nearby Krabi and Phuket, the province has good assets. This is one of the few destinations in the South of Thailand that has preserved its authenticity. The rubber plantations also make the fame of this part of Thailand. let's hope it will last. Trang town itself is not an enormous tourist attraction, it ...

The small island of Koh Mook is one of the 3 most famous islands off the coast of Trang, along with Koh Ngai and Koh Kradan. They are no longer as protected from mass tourism as in the past, notably because of a website that classified Koh Kradan beach as the most beautiful in the world (in my opinion unfairly because for less, it is not even the most beautiful in Thailand).

At Koh Mook, there are no large hotel complexes, and the atmosphere resembling a small village...

The small island of Koh Kradan is renowned for having the most beautiful beaches in the province. A reputation that is certainly deserved but somewhat undermined by the presence of waste at the top of the beaches far from the area where the resorts are located.

And the cherry on the cake is that there are easily accessible snorkeling sp...

We are in a postcard setting, ideal for relaxing. The beach is lined with resorts, most of them rather luxurious. It is even a general trend on Koh Ngai, to move towards luxury. Small, simple reso...

The small island of Koh Sukorn is one of the least known among the Trang islands, yet I must say it may be the one that impressed me the most. With very few tourists, it has a genuine local life that is deeply rural and agricultural. Here, the population does not live from tourism but rather from rubber cultivation, watermelons (they are delicious), rice, or fishing. Foreign tourists are rare; they prefer the white sandy beaches of Koh Ngai or Koh Kradan or Koh Ngai with more ocher sand and a slightly less turquoise sea because it is often more hectic, the island has other asstes like its mountains and its mangroves. Unlike the other two islands, Libong is also an island with a real local l...
