Comments Off on A Taste Of Trang

Trang province offers adventurous foodies a range of delicious dishes in a pristine natural setting.

People who have the explorer’s instinct like to investigate places that others find boring, because it is in such places that you find things you never expected. Southern seaside provinces such as Surat Thani, with its tourist islands including Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, have become so famous that they eclipse the others. But travellers who take time to truly explore the beautiful, quiet and unspoiled Chumphon province will find it is the true gem of the Gulf of Thailand.
