Start the journey by taking a passenger boat from Kuantung Pier for only 50฿, taking 30 minutes, and the distance is about 7 kilometers from the pier. When you arrive at the island, you can rent a motorbike for 200฿ per day for convenience to go to the hotel. Or if you want to take a bus on the island, you can do that as well. When you arrive at the hotel and see the view in front of you, I must say that it was worth the trip. It may not be an island with clear water comparable to Koh Kradan, but it is considered an island that is very worth relaxing on. I highly recommend it. #BeautifulIslandsInThailand #TrangIsWorthVisiting #Travel #MissNature

Emerald cave in Koh Mook Thailand is truly amazing, its a must. You can Kayak round from Garnet beach but make sure you ask for a torch as it's pitch black swimming through the cave to get to the beautiful lagoon.Its also part of every boat trip as its the main thing to do on this little remote Island. The guide will swim first with a torch and light the way for you, this is probably the safer option. #lagoon #thaiand #island #kayak

How to get there - Take a plane to Trang Airport, then take a car (private car) to Kuantungku Pier and take a boat to Koh Muk (take a chartered boat round trip, including transportation from the pier to the hotel) Tourist attractions - Koh Muk, Farang Beach Hotel - Smile Resort, Koh Muk Restaurant and food - Order food from the hotel and buy from the locals #Sea trip #Beautiful accommodation trip #Couple trip #Escape from children to travel

#WinterSeasideTravel Emerald Cave is located on Koh Muk, another large island in Trang waters. It is a famous magical cave in the middle of the sea in Trang Province. Tourists who travel to Trang will not miss visiting the Emerald Cave, which is considered Unseen in Thailand. From the entrance to the cave, there is a small hole above the water level that a boat can pass through, or you have to swim in if the water is high. The distance is 80 meters. At the entrance to the cave, the light from the outside reflects on the water inside the cave, making the water look emerald green. It looks strange and naturally beautiful. When you leave the mouth of the cave, on the other side, you will see a clean white sand beach surrounded by steep cliffs. This Emerald Cave can only be entered and exited during low tide. #WinterSeasideTravel

Recommended accommodation on Koh Muk, located by the sea, must be here. Koh Muk De Tara Beach Resort, Trang is a peaceful and comfortable accommodation, perfect for a relaxing vacation. The room that Queen chose was a room with a sea view. You can see the sea very clearly. When you open the curtain, you will see the sea right away. And it is very close. You can listen to the sound of the waves all day. The room has a bare concrete bathtub for us to soak in. It is very good. When Queen went, she turned on the water and soaked with her friends for half a day. 😂 It was very good. Very chill. Lying in the water, looking at the sea view, listening to the sound of the waves, it was perfect. And the highlight is that the food at the accommodation is very delicious. You don't have to go anywhere far. Order it at the accommodation and it's done. I like it very much. I will definitely visit again. #HotelReview #KohMuk #Trang #KohMukAccommodation

“We all often complain that we are more tired of people than we are of work.” 🙏Visit Wat Tham Saeng Phet It is a famous temple for tourism in Amnat Charoen Province because anyone who passes through Amnat Charoen Province will see signs for Wat Tham Saeng Phet all the way. It is a beautiful temple located on a hilltop that is not very high. But when you drive up, you will see a very large parking lot. Near the parking lot, there is a clean bathroom. We should also practice cleanliness because it is a temple. We will enjoy the view of the forest and mountains. Not far from the parking lot, there is a pair of white nagas at the entrance to the church door. There is a way up to pay homage to the golden chedi that stands out prominently on top. Next to the chedi is the reclining Buddha or large reclining Buddha. We went in to pay homage and ask for blessings. It takes 1 hour, which is still not enough. I recommend that you travel to the 4-way intersection of Amnat Charoen Province and turn in for about 20 kilometers to arrive. #Visit Amnat Charoen Cave #Wat Tham Saeng Phet #Amnat Charoen Province #Please follow #Dhamma Traveling Bhikkhu

📍Overview of Trang trip

My dears 👋, today I am here to share with you an amazing trip to the three islands of Trang, Thailand! The Trang Islands have not been fully developed yet and are full of pristine ecology. They are considered a lesser-known treasure among the Thai islands 😉. Departing from Bangkok, the three-day itinerary is clearly arranged 👇 ✨ Day 1 Arrive in Trang by flight from Bangkok in the morning. Start your leisure time in the small town of Trang in the afternoon! You can take a cute frog tuk-tuk to travel around the town and take photos and check in at the graffiti wall in the old town, which is super photogenic 📷. After taking pictures, we'll go have a seafood feast🦀. ●Lunch: I highly recommend EggEEggEgg Trang. Their egg rolls with crab meat and oyster omelette are must-orders. They taste absolutely amazing😋. ●Dinner: Don’t miss KOH NGAI CAMPING SEAFOOD, the prawns are almost as long as your forearm, and the conchs are super big. Every bite is super satisfying🥰. ●Coffee shop: Passione del Caffé is also worth a visit. The guy in the shop is very professional in hand brewing. Coffee lovers should not miss it☕. ✨ Day 2 A day trip to Koh Mu, Koh Gradan and Koh Ngai is here! Check in at the Andaman Estuary landmark at the pier first, full of ritual sense📸. Then we will soon arrive at Mu Island. The most famous thing here is the heart-shaped sky. All the people on the boat will line up in a small train to enter the cave. After swimming in the dark for more than ten minutes, the view in front of you will suddenly become clear. It really feels like the Peach Blossom Spring. It's amazing🤩. The second stop is Gradan Island, which is known to have the most beautiful beaches. However, we went there in October, and the rainy season had not yet ended. The underwater visibility was poor and the waves were big, so we did not experience snorkeling. But because the weather is sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, you can see the gradient of the sea water, and the dead trees on the beach are particularly beautiful for taking pictures📷. We stayed at Neil Island that night, and when the boat arrived at Neil Island, we got off directly at the pier. Nai Island is small, there is not much entertainment, and there are no special hotels. It is very quiet and perfect for lying down and relaxing. The hotels are concentrated on the east side of the beach. The rooms are separate cabins. There is a beach and sea just outside the door, and the prices are affordable. After checking in, we walked along the beach. In the distance, white clouds fell on the mountains, and nearby, there were sailboats on the sea. Before dinner, we also enjoyed the beautiful pink sunset. This luck is simply bursting 🥰. ● Koh Ngai Thanya Beach Resort: The quality of its beach is excellent, but there are no good snorkeling spots in the sea in front of the hotel. ✨ Day 3 Continue to enjoy the good time at Neil Island Beach in the morning🌞. Don’t miss the opportunity to watch the sunrise on the east beach in the morning, take a nap after that, and then just lie down on the beach. The scenery here is amazing on sunny days. If you are not afraid of the sun, you can also participate in the hotel's kayaking, beach volleyball and other activities. Remember to book the return ferry ticket at the hotel front desk one day in advance, and take a bus directly to the airport after arriving at Trang Pier in the afternoon✈. Darlings, isn’t the trip to the three islands of Trang awesome? Are you excited? Come here and experience the unique charm of this small island!

Three small resorts in Trang, Thailand, the fairy island Friends who love island life, here is a little-known treasure of Thailand - Trang, waiting for your exploration. The scenery here is beautiful and there are few tourists. It is truly a place with beautiful scenery and few people. For all diving enthusiasts, this is a must-visit place because there is a chance to encounter the legendary mermaid - the dugong. Recommended reason Luxury and affordability coexist: In the off-season, you can choose any luxury resort hotel in Trang for only RMB 200 and enjoy a luxurious trip. Convenient transportation: It only takes 1 hour to fly directly from Bangkok to Trang, and the round-trip ticket price is even more affordable, only more than 300 RMB. Trang Island: Trang's charm comes from its 46 surrounding islands, each with its own unique charm. Here are 5 islands you can’t miss: 1. Koh Kradan ★★★★★ *Trang’s star snorkeling spot, the water is as clear as mint blue and the underwater visibility is extremely high. *Here, you have the opportunity to get close to various underwater creatures and coral reefs 2. Koh Mook ★★★★ *Trang is an island with complete supporting facilities and surrounded by a quiet fishing village. *During the off-season, you can enjoy the entire island for the price of one night's hotel, and have the opportunity to explore the mysterious Emerald Cave. *Note: With the exception of the Sivalai Hotel Beach, the views of other beaches may be less spectacular. 3. Koh Ngai ★★★ *The most suitable island for accommodation in Trang, most of the hotels are facing the beach. *The sea water is clear and the beach is pleasant. You can go fishing after the tide goes out and experience the fun of picking sea cucumbers. *It is quiet and comfortable here, perfect for spending quality time with your family. 4. Koh Rok ★★★★★ This dreamy island is as beautiful as the Similan Islands. The glass sea and jelly sea that you long for are all available here, and it is so beautiful that it is like a dream. What’s even more exciting is that the journey to enjoy this beautiful sea view is not complicated. It only takes a 45-minute boat ride from Neil Island to reach this paradise. However, due to the relatively small number of tourists, shared boat transportation may be a bit inconvenient. 5. Koh Libon★★ It has become a paradise for niche travel enthusiasts. The main residents here are Muslim aborigines, who together maintain the tranquility and harmony of this island. Although the sea water is not crystal clear and sparkling, what fascinates everyone the most is undoubtedly Trang's mascot, the dugong. This mysterious marine creature, with its unique shape and cute appearance, has attracted countless tourists to come and see it.

#tripflyingtoprayfornewyear Muk Lamai, beautiful, clean accommodation, lovely staff, a little outside of town but easy 10 mins (1km) to town or free bike options to use. The pool is the perfect temperature and being there in October meant we often had the pool to ourselves. Simple but delicious breakfast was served and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our schedule. Would recommend or book again if we return. #GoodAtmosphereAccommodation #KohMuk

#WinterTravel #CarryACameraAroundAroundWithFreeLife #SouthTravel #ComfortableVacation #AndamanSea For us, Emerald Cave is considered very unseen. When we arrived at the entrance, we were confused about what it would be like. In short, we had to pay our respects in a row with a swimming guide. We had to go through the cave, which was dark and we couldn't see anything. It took a while to get there. But when we got there, we had to say wow. It was so beautiful. It was a beach on either side. You could swim as you wish, but if the tide was high, you couldn't go in. It was really beautiful.

The Trang islands are absolutely beautiful. We spent 10 days on Koh Mook and Koh Libong this year, and found tranquil, practically empty perfect beaches, beautiful sea and delicious food. It’s super easy to get there - take a taxi from Trang airport to Pak Meng Pier, and hop into one of the long tail boats waiting there. It’s only a short distance to Koh Mook with beautiful views along the way. Once on Koh Mook, you can easily find another boat to take you to Koh Libong, or any of the other Trang islands. #getgoing2025 #chillvibes #beachescapes #paradise #island #beachtime

The Emerald Cave near Koh Mook was an absolute highlight of our trip. Visiting around 1 PM, I was pleasantly surprised by how uncrowded it was, creating a peaceful and intimate experience. Swimming through the dark, mysterious tunnel to emerge into a glowing lagoon surrounded by towering cliffs was unforgettable. The emerald-green water, lush greenery, and serene atmosphere made it feel like stepping into another world. The area is well-preserved, and the guides clearly care about maintaining its natural beauty. This hidden gem exceeded all expectations and is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking a unique and magical adventure in Thailand.

Come on everyone!!! Koh Mook is soooooo good. Koh Mook is an island that is sooooo easy to travel to. You can go as a group or if you bring your own car, you can park at the pier (Kuan Tung Ku Pier). For a group, it costs (250 baht for a car + ferry) (350 baht for a car + long-tail boat). The car leaves at 11:00 a.m. every day. *** During the low season, there is a group plan that includes only the ferry. Please check with the tour company again. If you bring your own car, the ferry leaves at 12:30 p.m. (Note: The group plan is only open for booking during the high season.) I recommend booking with Trang Happy Trip and Tour. Phi Jib and Phi Sai provide great service.
