Trang encompasses an area with a 193-kilometer (120-mile) coastline, as well as 47 islands from the lower Andaman Sea to the Straits of Malacca. Unlike nearby Phuket or Krabi, Trang has been spared from mass development and there is an abundance of forests, beaches, caves, and waterfalls. In fact, two-thirds of the province has been designated a national parkland.
