Trang Thailand
Trang or Muang Thap Thiang used to be a port involved
in foreign trade. It was the first city where rubber
was planted. Phraya Ratsadanupradit Mahison Phakdi brought
rubber from Malaysia and planted it here before anywhere
else in southern Thailand in 1899. Rubber is now considered
an important commodity of Thailand. The important Trang
River flows through the province from its origin in
the Khao Luang mountain range and the Palian River from
the Banthat mountain range.
Trang is a coastal province on the Indian Ocean with
a long western coastline of about 199 kilometres. The
province consists of an archipelago in the Andaman Sea
with over 46 islands. Of these, 12 are in Amphoe Kantang,
13 in Amphoe Palian and 21 in Amphoe Sikao. The best
time for sea travel is during October to May of the
following year.
Trang has a total area of 4,941 square kilometres and
is divided into 9 districts (Amphoe) and 1 sub-district
(King Amphoe); Amphoe Kantang, Amphoe Huai Yot, Amphoe
Yan Ta Khao, Amphoe Palian, Amphoe Sikao, Amphoe Wang
Wiset, Amphoe Na Yong, Amphoe Ratsada, and King Amphoe
Hat Samran.
