Trang province is a lush
agricultural and densely forested area with limestone caves and waterfalls providing
plenty of opportunities for trekking, kayaking and exploring.
In the south
lies Banthad, a large mountain with more than twenty waterfalls and a wide variety
of wildlife. At Tone Teh Waterfall in the Palian District, the water falls
320m. It's a lovely place to go trekking with an experienced guide.
Trang
Trekking Club, founded by Khun Pratheep Jongthong, has created five selected routes
varying from moderate to challenging using local village guides. These are guys
who know the forest and wildlife and can advise on ways to appreciate the forest
without disturbing it's inhabitants.
