Fate brought me to Trang, a place I never considered for a beach or island getaway. In my mind, Trang was just a stopover between Phuket and my hometown, Hat Yai. However, a friend from Bangkok was planning a solo trip to an island in Trang, and I couldn't let her do it alone. So, I decided to join her and explore the islands of Trang. A friend recommended staying overnight on Koh Hai, praising its beauty. Without hesitation, we embarked on our island adventure.

Embarking on a journey from Phuket to Trang, seeking a change of scenery by the sea. The time for departure has arrived, opting to stay in Trang city first due to the late arrival after work.

Taking a bus from Phuket to Hat Yai and then getting off at Trang city. The bus ride from Phuket to Trang also takes 4-5 hours.

I have arrived at my accommodation. I booked it through Booking.com and chose Owl House, a hotel I selected because I only needed a place to stay overnight. In the morning, I will be picked up and taken to the port.

Let's take a look at the morning atmosphere of the accommodation. I'm too sleepy right now, so I haven't been able to capture much footage.

Waking up early, a colleague from Trang was waiting to pick us up at dawn to search for delicious dim sum and the famous Trang grilled pork. We woke up early because the car was scheduled to pick us up at 8:00-8:15, giving us time to find Trang grilled pork. When in Trang, you must try the grilled pork and dim sum in the morning.

Here we are! As promised, we're at Letrang, and this is their second branch.

The restaurant has a beautiful and spacious atmosphere. The food is incredibly delicious.

It is located within close proximity to your accommodation.

2-Day, 1-Night Trang Sea Trip You've Selected

The first day will be a tour of 3 islands, including snorkeling. We will visit the Emerald Cave, a hidden gem in Trang, Koh Kradan, and then go snorkeling at Koh Chuek. For those who choose to stay on the island, …

The boat will take you back to your accommodation at the end of the trip, as the boat does not stay overnight on the island. Some people only come for a day trip.

We have departed from the pier! Let's go embrace the Trang Sea!

Once on board, we will be greeted with ice-cold Coca-Cola to quench our thirst and cool down in the heat.

Before reaching the first destination of the trip, the Emerald Cave, the guide will demonstrate how to enter the cave for everyone to see.

After a satisfying meal, we took a break at Koh Dan, where the water was crystal clear.

"Plank Island"

The guide here is amazing! They explained how to wear the diving mask in detail. We actually already knew everything, but today there were many Thai tourists who were still unfamiliar with it.

I'm completely ready.

Let's get started right away.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

The water here is also clear.

We were amazed because, unlike Phuket, there was much more to see here.

The water here is truly crystal clear.

The resort boasts a new wedding pavilion, and the chosen beach offers a secluded atmosphere with limited accommodation options. Koh Hai also features other beaches with accommodation options.

Translation:

We strolled along the beach until we reached the end, where we discovered a rocky outcrop teeming with seashells and coral fragments. We were overjoyed to find such a pristine and untouched spot.

This angle is perfect.

This is the first time I've seen so many hairy crabs. This place is so natural.

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows across the land, the artificial glow of city lights begins to illuminate the streets. With the fading light comes a growing hunger, a reminder of the day's activities and the need for sustenance.

Translation:

No need to worry about food and drinks on Koh Hai. There are still bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a meal or a drink while listening to the sound of the wind and waves.

The food and drinks have arrived. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. I would definitely recommend this place.

Translation:

Order a simple meal and a drink each, and when you're full, relax and listen to the sound of the waves.

The taste of the food is amazing. I love it!

Listen to some soft music before bed, and then we'll wake up to watch the sunrise together.

Good morning! Time to wake up and greet the gentle morning sun.

This accommodation does not include breakfast, but that's okay, we brought instant noodles! Let's ask for hot water in the kitchen. Everyone here is very kind.

Approximately 9:00 AM, a company-arranged boat will pick you up and take you to Pak Meng Pier. A van will be waiting to take you to the airport.

Goodbye, Koh Hai. If I have the chance, I'll stay for two nights next time. I'll just come to swim at the island. See you again soon.

This place retains its natural beauty, and I hope everyone can experience it as well.
