Sights in Trang Province

  1. Tham Morakot

    Good snorkelling opportunities lie offshore and one of the island's star attractions, Tham Morakot, hides at the northern end of the island. This cave is a beautiful limestone tunnel that leads 80m to a sea lagoon. You have to swim through here at high tide, part of the way in pitch blackness, to a small concealed white-sand beach surrounded by lofty limestone, with a chimney that lets in a piercing shaft of light around midday.

    Boats can enter at low tide and the cave features on most tour itineraries so it can get pretty crowded in high season, and during the busiest months can reek of urine.

  2. Libong Archipelago Wildlife Reserve

    On the eastern coast of Ko Libong at Laem Ju Hoi is a large area of mangroves protected by the Botanical Department as the Libong Archipelago Wildlife Reserve. The grass-filled sea channels here are one of the dugong’s last habitats, and around 40 of them graze on the sea grass that flourishes in the bay.
