Trang Travel Guide: Located south of Krabi, Trang has largely escaped mass tourism. Beautiful beaches, small islands, waterfalls, mountains, breathtaking landscapes, and accommodations that are more affordable than in nearby Krabi and Phuket make this province a true gem. It's one of the few destinations in southern Thailand that has retained its authenticity. The rubber plantations also contribute to the region's reputation. Let's hope it stays that way. Trang town itself isn't a huge tourist attraction but mainly serves as a base for excursions to the region's 46 islands and Hat Chao Mai National Park. All the information you need about getting around in and around Trang can be found in our "Getting Around Trang" section.

Accommodation in Trang: To find accommodation in Trang, the best place to start is the train station.
