iconIntroduction

Trang, or Taptiang, is another big town in the South of Thailand, which is the first to grow rubber trees of which the saplings were brought in from Malaysia by Phraya Rasssadanupradit Mahissarapakdi.

TrangTrang is a seaport on the Thai west coast 1,124 kms. from Bangkok on Phetchakasem Road. At present, there is a new route, from Suratthani to Trang, which makes the total distance from Bangkok 864 kms. Its area is 5,216 square kms. or about 3,095,000 Rai. The northern boundary is next to Thung Song District, Nakhorn Si Thammarat Province; the southern by Thung Wah District, Satun Province, the Indian Ocean. The Administration of the province is divided into 9 districts and 1 sub-district; Muang (Trang Town), Kantang, Huay Yod, Sikao, Yan Takhao, Palian, Wang Wiset, Nayong Districts, and Ratsada Had Samran sub-districts.
In the last years many hotels and resorts where build on the beautiful islands - Koh Mook, Koh Ngai, Koh Kradan and Koh Sukorn - to accommodate the increasing numbers of tourists visiting the area.

iconThe geography of Trang 
consists of three main areas: the North which is hilly like waves with flat plains in between suitable for rubber plantations; the Central which consists of sloping areas and in the North of which most of the soil is red and suitable for agriculture; the South which is flat low coastal land along the west side of the Indian Ocean, spreading all along the province's boundary of 119 kms. Its soil is sandy and thus suitable for oil palms.

iconClimate
Trang is a coastal province on the Indian Ocean and on a narrow piece of land, thus, there are monsoons all year round, resulting in a high amount of rain. Only the time from February to April is without rain. The amount of rain in 1980 was as high as 2,607.6 mm. For this reason, Trang only has two seasons: summer and rainy season. The above said characteristics make Trang most suitable for agriculture, especially rubber planting.
