Eat
Khao Fang - from the train station, go left, then 2nd(?) right up a small street, restaurant is on the left about 1/4th of the way up, opposite a tall (5-6 storey) hotel. Sign (blue and white) is only in Thai. Best food in Trang and some of the best in Thailand (and cheap). Food can be very hot, ask them to cool it down. Rosie and Nida are the sisters that run it, hopefully they'll keep it going. Eat lots, especially sumtam, tom yum goong, larp pla dook (catfish), everything else. Leave a big tip!
NIGHT MARKET - The lively night market of Trang has food stalls with excellent local food.
WUNDERBAR Restaurant & Tours- WUNDERBAR Restaurant & Tours has been the very first place in Trang to cater to locals, expats, tourists and travellers. The German owner settled down in Trang in 1990, a time when there was no tourism in Trang at all. A couple of years later the first foreign travellers arrived in Trang to explore this wonderful destination with its beautiful islands on one side and the jungle covered mountains, waterfalls and caves on the other side. So WUNDERBAR was created to lend those travellers a helping hand to discover Trang province since almost none of the locals could speak any english, ...but we knew already about every place of interest in Trang province. Since then they change the menu in the restaurant frequently to meet all the locals, expats and travellers expectations and tastes. The place has a huge selection on European Cheese and German Weissbier.
