Primarily a rubber trading center, Trang is a good base to visit lush tropical parks nearby, including clusters of untouched islands. Trang town has long been a trading center, and it is now famous for its rubber exports. At the start of May, traditional wooden sloops sail at the regatta, which includes live music and theater.
