Trang
at a glance
Located
approximately 828 kilometers from Bangkok,
Trang Province covers an area of 4,941 square
kilometers. The province borders on Na khon
Si Thammarat Province to the north, Satun
Province and the Indian Ocean (Andaman Sea)
to the south, Phatthalung Province to the
east and the Indian Ocean and Krabi Province
to the west. Trang is considered a magnificent
coastal province as it long, beautiful coastline
stretches 199 kilometers along the Indian
Ocean. In addition, the province has two
major rivers flowing through it, the Trang
River, which originates in the Khao Luang
Mountain Range and Maenam Palian from the
Banthat Mountain Range.
Despite
the fact that Trang City plays a key role
in facilitating trade and communications
to Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand's southern
commercial hub, Trang is a province less
traveled to by tourists. It was only recently
that Trang has been poised to establish
itself on the international travel map.
Trang
has
geographical advantages similar to that
of Krabi and Phang-Nga. This includes breathtaking
islands and astounding beaches along the
coast as well as awe-inspiring inland limestone-
propped mountains. The province consists
of an archipelago in the Andaman Sea with
over 46 islands. Of these, 12 are in Amphoe
Kantang, 13 in Amphoe Palian and 21 in Amphoe
Sikao. The best time to visit Trang is between
December and May.
