Greetings. Following the launch of a new flight route by Thai Lion Air to Trang province, this trip came about. Due to time constraints, I was only able to book a roundtrip flight for Saturday and Sunday. I also invited two beautiful women to join me on this adventure.

From Don Mueang Airport, we took an early morning flight to Trang. After that, we took a van into the city and asked the driver to drop us off at Letrang 2 Restaurant. We started our trip with a meal.

Two girls look very happy with their food. If you come to this restaurant, I recommend the crab rolls. They are full of meat and crab.

This is the feeling of contentment after a meal.

After a satisfying meal, we took a leisurely stroll around town, as we couldn't check into our accommodation yet. Trang city offers many charming photo spots, making for an enjoyable walk.

Near the street art, there is a cool coffee shop called Thap Thiang Old Town. The shop is lovely, and inside, there are posters with sketches of different corners of Trang city. This also pleased the two girls.

After that, I walked to Trang Railway Station to take pictures!!! I wonder if anyone else is like me. Whenever I travel to a place with a train passing by, I always like to take pictures with the station or the station signs of that province. It might be the classic look of the railway station letters. At least I'll know where I am.

Take a picture of the sign.

Take a picture with the sign.

And also took a picture with the sign.

We had a blast taking photos on the railway tracks near noon. It might not be the ideal place for a stroll, but not for our team. We're not afraid of the sun! That's how we got our tans! 55++

After arriving, we took a tuk-tuk to the hotel. After checking in, we continued our sightseeing by tuk-tuk.

This time, we chose HOP INN again for our accommodation. The room is small but comfortable, and we focused on spending economically.

We took a tuk-tuk to the Southern Botanical Garden (Thung Khai), which has nature trails and a Sky Walk. We asked the tuk-tuk to wait for us so that it could take us back, as the garden is located quite far outside the city.

The late afternoon sunlight cast its rays upon the lush green forest. The most striking feature was the thicket of krapho trees, which gave the impression of a pristine, humid rainforest. The beauty was truly breathtaking.

Poor bridge. Haha.

The highlight of this place is the red treetop walkway, which is quite high.

On our way back, we asked the tuk-tuk to drop us off at the airport. Haha! We just arrived this morning and are already leaving. Don't worry, we're not leaving yet. We just stopped by to pick up our rental car from AVIS. Tonight, we'll find a place to relax and listen to music while sipping beer at THE BOXX. It's packed, so it must be a popular spot here. Honestly, we didn't research any nightlife options. We just saw a lot of cars parked there on our way back to the hotel, so we decided to join the crowd. Hehe.

The morning has arrived, and we are still in bed. But no, we need to wake up quickly. We decided last night that we had to eat dim sum, so we ended up here at Ruen Thai Dim Sum Restaurant. We ordered everything to avoid wasting time, and it was all gone in a flash. 55+ Because today we are going out of town.

Our first stop is the Khao Kop Cave in Huai Yot district, where we will experience the thrill of Trang.

The starting point will begin from this entrance. Here it is.

The image shows a boat trip where passengers can disembark to admire the scenery. The highlight of the trip is a section called "Dragon's Spine Crossing," where the boat and the cave ceiling are extremely low. Passengers must lie down in the boat with stalactites brushing against their faces. The journey through this section feels long, accompanied by the screams of two women. Unfortunately, the boatman did not allow cameras due to the risk of damage, and there was no space to raise a camera anyway. If you haven't experienced this yet, I highly recommend visiting.

The old man said it was like dying and being reborn. When he got out, the old man blessed him. It was so exciting and real that you should really come and try it.

Leaving the cave, we head to Wang Theptharo, where you can see art made from tree roots and buy products made from Theptharo wood.

The roots of the Thep Tharo tree have a fragrant aroma. Scientists have identified six distinct scents: lemongrass, fragrant lemongrass, root beer, white sesbania, rose, and frangipani. The scents can be experienced by smelling the sample trees that have been planted. However, one wonders if these two young women are aspiring to become birds?

The highlight of this place is the largest wooden dragon ever built in Thailand, and arguably the largest in the world. This dragon symbolizes the power of the land.

After that, we returned to the city to travel to Kantang district. We stopped to refuel at Kopee Restaurant, which is located next to the train station where we took photos yesterday.

Order a cold drink and relax. We have to fight the hot weather in the south.

The journey was short, and soon we arrived at Kantang Railway Station, the terminus of the Southern Line on the Andaman coast. The mustard yellow and brown building stood out with its striking beauty.

Nearby, there is a cafe called Love Station. Their signature drink is the sour mango smoothie, which is a refreshing blend of tart and sweet flavors.

A Must-Do Activity: Capturing the Perfect Train Track Photo

This location offers a unique opportunity to capture the perfect train track photo, as trains only pass through once a day. The two women thoroughly enjoyed themselves, taking numerous photos and having a blast.

The two girls then expressed their disappointment at not seeing the sea during their visit to Trang. Due to limited time, they decided against taking a boat tour and opted for a visit to Hat Yao instead. Located nearby, Shark Fin Rock was their destination, which they reached amidst a light drizzle.

The rock formation behind us resembles a shark, hence the name. The late afternoon atmosphere is pleasant without the sun, thanks to the presence of a wall. Feel free to take a leisurely stroll.

Group Photo Before Heading Back to the Airport - Time Flies!

On their way back, the two girls were fascinated by the rubber trees and wanted to take pictures with them. So they did.

The first model requested a candid pose, leaning in to help because her face was, um...!! The wind blowing her hair was very natural.

The rubber plantation, whose owner is unknown, has attracted the curiosity of passing motorists who have wondered about the activities taking place within. Some have even attempted to take photographs inside. Had it not been for the need to return home today, it is likely that they would still be tapping rubber trees in the area the following morning.

"Before I truly leave, I would like one more photo sitting here to absorb the atmosphere of the rubber plantation as much as possible before returning to Bangkok."

We arrived back at the airport with an AVIS staff member waiting for us at the parking lot. What perfect timing! This concludes our trip. From here, it's everyone back to their own homes. Goodbye!
