Lay Cave, Stegodon.
Toong Wa. Amphoe Toong Wa, Satool.
At Toong Wa, there are many unseen places which are from the natural resources; the limestone mountain surrounds the bay and pond from Trang to Stool.
Include the caves around the bay and the famous one is ‘Wang Kluay Cave’ which had 4 kilometers long and connect to the sea at Baan Tha Aoi around this place had found the important fossil of the ice age elephant called ‘Stegodon elephant tooth’
You could roll the Kayak through the cave but be careful of the Stalactites and stalagmites from the cave ceiling because it was fragile. Also, check the water level before you enter you may ask for the information from the area officer for your safety trip. After all that instructions there was the beautiful scenery inside the cave and when you out of the cave you may see the brighter world of Andaman.
Geopark Museum with Community Eco tourism.
From the sources of the fossil, you may visit and see more fossils and study the history of them at the museum at Satool geography national park – Mammoth Museum. This museum had kept Stegodon elephant tooth and the other fossil related to the ice age which had found from under the sea area.
This museum had gathered from the geography studies from Toongwa, Manang, La Ngoo, and Stool which surrounded by the limestone poles and mountain. For 500 years has passed but the beauty of the place still there. This area also provides the eco-tourism program to welcome the tourist.

The emerald sea surround by many sizes of poles that have built from natural erosion. The tons of limestone poles around that looks like the palaces by the sea accept they were made of natural rain and wind. This area is in the care of Koh Pethra National park and also the resting area for the fisherman boat. You may see the boats around the bay.
We travel by 5 Kayaks and use the fisherman boat to drag our boat. Start from Baan Bor Jed Look pier and head to the Sand bay at San Lang Mangkorn bay then visit the trace of the ancient creatures of Cam Bia then see the beauty of Hin Gham bay and finish the trip with the seafood at the restaurant. We highly recommend the shrimp menu because of the sweet taste of the fresh shrimp meat and do not forget to try the traditional dish.
See the street art at Tap Tien old town.
Street Art Rd., Amphoe Mueng, Trang.
Out from Amphoe La Ngoo and travel back to see the amazing street art at Trang. We had chosen to travel through La Ngoo – Pa Lien – Yaan Ta Kao – Toong Kai Botanical Garden and reached Trang in the afternoon.
Trang is the old town that was built in Rama 6 reign so, you may see the beauty of the vintage style of Peenung building around town such as Siriban store, the old book store that was built 70 years and also the home town of the important artist ‘Jiranun PitPreecha’ Seerai award artist.
From here we had entered the street art road that opposite Siriban store. The street art road that was famous and has been attracted to the tour around the world. The art piece on the wall is the art of the local attractive places such as Morakod cave, rubber trees (Trang is the first area to plant the rubber tree in the south of Thailand). On this street, we had passed the tunnel of street art which lead us to Kee Kun district when we turn right to Clock tower intersection there were the famous local restaurants around the street that you must not miss. We decided to stay another night here in the town.
From Trang to Kan Tang.
Radsada Museum, Amphoe Kan Tang, Kan Tang, Trang.
Morning at Trang. We had breakfast in the town. Many people have gathered in the street since the early morning. We sipped the black coffee ‘Ko pi’ while looking at the crowd of people walking to each other. In the coffee shop, we had seen many leaflets of Traditional events to invite and share information like this place was the city hall of this street. Back to our breakfast, we had tried Tim Sam, a local recipe grilled pork and Pathongkho with Sangkhaya dip to made our morning prettier.
Finish our perfect breakfast. We had a morning train trip to Kan Tang the old city that was built in Rama 6 reign. Just 45 minutes from Trang to see the beauty of Peenung style city. We saw much mustard-colored building and towers that was maintained by the local organization.
Kan Tang is the heart of Trang and also the city of Trang prospers. Like we told earlier that Trang has the first rubber tree in the south of Thailand and this city was the area to plant the first rubber tree. We strolled at Kuan Tamnak Jun Public Park and see the beauty of the sea view at the sea views.
These reflected the prosper of Trang and people Trang to live and maintain by generation to generation.
