Trang Province
South of Krabi, Trang Province has an impressive limestone-covered Andaman Coast with several sublime islands that see marginally fewer visitors than their nearby and better-known counterparts. For the adventurous, there’s plenty of big nature to explore in the lush interior, including dozens of scenic waterfalls and limestone caves. And it’s nowhere near as popular as Krabi, which means you’re more likely to see working rubber plantations here than rows of T-shirt vendors. Transport links are good and during the high season (November to April) you can easily island-hop all the way to Malaysia.
