Trang

Trang is one of Thailand's undiscovered hideaways. Secluded beaches, tropical islands, clear water and towering cliffs.

Quiet and unassuming, Trang, like the provinces of Krabi and Phang Nga, has a stunning coastline hiding some of Thailand's finest white sand beaches and dozens of unexplored and uninhabited islands.

In the interior, lagoons, forest, waterfalls and hidden caves alternate with rolling sweeps of leafy rubber plantations in an agriculturally rich landscape.

Trang's white sand beaches and idyllic islands offer peace, tranquility and a place to relax without the intrusion of mass tourism. Caves, waterfalls, hot springs and lakes provide a perfect venue for adventure and nature lovers. It's rural Thailand with good roads, comfortable low-key hotels and friendly locals.

About Trang

Located about three hours drive from Phuket and 828 kilometres from Bangkok, Trang's tourist industry in still in its infancy; despite a flurry of new roads making the province more accessible over the last few years.

A healthy local economy based on rubber, tin mining and seafood has prevented mass tourist development While annual events like the Trang Underwater Wedding Ceremony, held on Valentine's Day, have raised the profile of Trang, the province still remains unspoilt.
