Getting There
By Air -- One daily flight from Bangkok is serviced by Nok Air (tel] 02900-9955; www.nokair.com).
By Train -- Trang city is connected by train with Bangkok on the main north-south line. Two daily departures make the 16-hour trek. Ask for details at Bangkok's Hua Lampong Station (tel. 1690).
By Bus -- There are frequent buses from Bangkok's Southern Bus terminal (tel. 02434-7192) and minibus connection from Krabi and Surat Thani. When you arrive in Trang, connect by minibus with Ha Pak Mieng for 200B (US$5.70/£3.10); it's a 30-minute ride.
Ferry boats to the outlying islands leave regularly all day from the pier on the north end of the beach. It costs around 1,000B (US$29/£15) for an all-day tour by boat (including lunch), and they can drop you off at any number of islands (Koh Ngai, Koh Mook, or Koh Kradung). Try Chao Mai Tour (tel. 07521-4742), just one among many at the port, or contact any of the hotels below and they can help with arrangements.
