Travel via Trang Bus Station

Whilst travelling this local bus and boat from Trang to Koh Libong is inexpensive, there are some downsides to this option if you are flying into Trang as opposed to travelling by train or by bus:

• It’s just under 10 km from Trang Airport to the bus station in Trang Town. There are inexpensive minivan services you can take from Trang Airport to Trang Town, but the journey can take up to 30 minutes and you might need to wait a while for the next departure. Taxi services are available but you need to negotiate the price. Some driver ask for more than 1,000 THB for the journey.
• Assuming you have successfully reached Trang Town, and worked out which bus you need to take to Hat Yao Pier (the signs are all written in Thai), then your next challenge is finding a place in a boat to take you over to Koh Libong. You may need to wait a while, do some negotiating, and perhaps even need to hire a whole boat.
