Trang

• One requires meticulous planning and hard work to reach the Trang islands. Travel time is less for the three famous northern islands, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai and Koh Kradan. However, travelling to the remote southern islands Libong, Sukorn and Bulone take a bit longer.
• Once you book accommodation, it is not easy to swap places due to limited resorts, hotels and the distance between the islands. Take into consideration all critical factors before zeroing down on your stay.
• The islands of Trang see an influx of Thai visitors during major Thai holidays (three days or more), particularly during Songkran and New year. Landing up here during these times will disrupt your vacation for sure.
• Once you are on the island, you have limited or no outside dining opportunities.
• Though one will find peace and tranquillity in these lonely beaches of Trang, for those party freaks, lack of nighttime activities or shopping hubs, may become too much nothingness. Some people find isolated islands too dull!

The best time to visit Trang is from December to March. The months of April to June are extremely hot and travelling can be undesirable, and the months of July to October experience heavy rainfall.

The city of Trang has a tropical monsoon climate and experiences year-round rainfall. The region has two distinct seasons, namely short dry-ish season (rainfall can be expected) and a long wet season. The short dry-ish season lasts from January to March and the wet season from April to December. Pre-monsoon months of February to April are a little hotter in the daytime, but temperature variations are very minimal. The month of September experiences the most amount of rainfall.
