About Trang
The reason that most foreign visitors come to Trang is because it is a major transport hub connecting the bus, air and train networks to boat services to the nearby islands of Koh Libong, Koh Kradan, Koh Mook and Koh Ngai. Trang is also 3 hours by road and speed boat from Koh Lipe, which is the same time its takes to travel from Hat Yai to Koh Lipe. Trang itself is very pleasant small town with some good food to eat and a friendly atmosphere. Trang Town is not, however, a place with any particularly interesting things to see.
