Visit Trang


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.

Sports & Activities Trang

Diving
The coastal waters of the Andaman around Trang have crystal clear water and vivid coloured coral. Large amounts of the area have been declared national parks and there is a plentiful sea life, including a wide variety of tropical fish, sharks, manta rays, turtles and even the occasional whale shark. Diving in Trang is made easy by the PADI dive centre at the resort.
Depths of 20 metres are standard and visibility is good year round, although in the monsoon season of May to October, increased silt flowing out from the rivers may slightly reduce clarity in some areas.
Hin Daeng (Red Rock) and Hin Muang (Purple Rock)
This world-class dive site comprises of two underwater mountains, next to each other. They are thought to be one of the best diving sites in the Andaman Sea, although they are a little difficult to find as only the peak of Hin Daeng emerges from the water. On the western side, where the slope is more gentle, two long ridges descend into the blue. Here the soft coral becomes more lush and tall, and huge schools of jacks sweep past the ridge, surrounding the diver with a shimmering wall of silver.
Koh Muk
Opposite Changlang Beach, this island has vibrant live coral. Koh Chukka and Koh Waen are small islands between Koh Mook and Koh Kradan. They are teeming with both shallow and deep water corals and many types of fish.
Koh Rok Nai and Koh Rok Nok
These sister islands are separated by a narrow 15-metre deep channel. The best dive is on Koh Rok Nai, starting in a little rocky cove on the northern side. From here it is possible to drift with the flow along a diverse and beautiful coral reef with fantastic fish life. It is also possible to see rare species such as sea horses and frogfish, as well as being one of the best places to see giant clams.

Kayaking
Kayaking is an excellent way to observe the unique microcosm of mangrove forests at close quarters. A mangrove is a unique plant community, which is found between the sea and land in areas with a tide. Mangroves provide a protected nursery area for fishes, crustaceans and shellfish and in addition, many animals find shelter in the roots and branches and it is also a perfect area for nesting. Consequently, the mangrove is home to many species of birds and wildlife, which can be observed as you glide past in your kayak.
