Travel Tips

Before visiting Tham Le Khao Kop, make sure that you are not a claustrophobic since you have to travel through a very narrow passage through the cave tunnel before you reach an end to the exit.

Do not touch the water drop on the tip of a growing stalactite because the grease on our fingers will interrupt the growth of stalactite.

Even though boat operators already have torches provided, it is recommended to have your own waterproof head torch when you make a trip into a cave.

Before diving, apply the baby shampoo on the inside lens of a DRY mask and rinse briefly in salt water, then quickly put on the mask. This technique prevents the mask fogging.

Bring along a waterproof bag or pocket every time when you go on a beach trip. It is useful for protecting your valuable belongings during your kayak Boat trip.

Do not forget to bring a high SPF sunscreen, a hat and a pair of sunglasses.

Trang is a magnificent coastal province with a long, beautiful shoreline that stretches 199 kilometers along the Andaman Sea. 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, which flows from the Banthat Mountain Range.

Despite the fact that Trang City plays a key role in facilitating trade to Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand's southern commercial hub, Trang is a province infrequently visited 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 those of Krabi and Phang Nga. This includes breathtaking islands and beaches along the coast as well as awe-inspiring inland limestone mountains.

Trang has both mainland beaches and a whole string of offshore islands; the province features an archipelago in the Andaman Sea consisting of more than 46 islands. Visitors interested in light-adventure activities can cruise the coastal waters and visit notable sights, such as the enchanting Emerald Cave. Additional attractions include the nearby Mu Koh Petra National Park, where idyllic beaches and islands are perfect places to enjoy the warm, clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Some of the dive sites in the National Park are world-class. There are also wildlife sanctuaries such as Namtok Khao Chong and Khlong Lamchan Park where waterfalls, nature trails, and caves are awaiting exploration. For those looking for a relaxed, tranquil ambience, Trang is a perfect place to unwind amidst stunning scenery.

Similar in topography to neighboring Krabi, Trang features idyllic islands with breathtaking karst formations and unspoiled beaches, making it the hot new destination for those looking for less developed yet beautiful Thai beaches and islands.

The waters off Trang have also become a refuge of the threatened dugong, the “sea cow” cousin of the manatee. Koh Libong is one of the best places to spot these docile sea mammals which have become the unofficial symbol of Trang.

        Trang city, the provincial capital, is a centuries-old seaport with a multicultural                      population of Thai, Malay, and Hokkien Chinese residents, a mixture that is best                  appreciated while dining on the local cuisine or mingling with the locals at a local              coffee shop.
