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 kilometers. 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 4,941.439 square
kilometers 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. |
