Talay Trang : Most Popular Islands in Trang
Koh
Kradan
(Kradan Island) is the most beautiful island in the Trang.
With an area of 600 acres, most of the island (5/6) is under
the jurisdiction of Hat Chao Mai National Park. The rest are
privately owned rubber and coconut plantations. The island
offers good restaurants and accommodation for tourists. The
most striking feature of Ko Kradan is its powdery, white
beach and crystal clear water that permits a great view of
the coral reef underneath that stretches from the beach's
northern end to the coast. A variety of colourful fish
inhabit the shallow water corals. Ko Kradan is to the west
of Ko Muk and Ko Libong. Visitors can depart from
Kuan Tung Ku Pier for the
islands. Boats leave regularly using the same route as to Ko
Muk and Ko Kradan. The 50-minute trip costs 1,000 baht/trip
for a private rental or share boat.
Koh
Chueak - Koh Waen
are small islands between Ko Muk and Ko Kradan. They are
teeming with shallow and deepwater corals and many types of
fish. Visitors can depart from Kuan Tung
Ku Pier or Pak Meng Pier
for the
islands. Boats leave regularly using the same route as to Ko
Muk and Ko Kradan. The 50-minute trip costs 1,500-2,000.- baht/day
for a private rental or share boat.
Koh Ma or Ma Island
is another uninhabited mountainous island, the highest peaks
rise over 40 metres above sea level. Ma Island was the first
place for Under Water Wedding in Trang.
Koh Muk and Morakot
Cave
are the most impressive points in the Trang Sea. The island
is comprised of mostly high and majestic cliffs facing the
sea to the west, while a fishing village is to the east
facing the mainland. Swallow birds make the numerous cliffs
their home. Hidden among them are the fantastic Morakot
Cave. The cave entrance is a small passage on the island's
western side that is accessible by boat during low tide. The
cave itself winds for about 80 metres to the other exit,
opening onto a clean white beach surrounded by high cliffs.
To get to Ko Muk, tourists can take a boat from Pak Meng
Pier in Amphoe Sikao for the 40-minute trip. The boat rent
is around 1,500 baht/day. Accommodation is available on the
island.
