What to do in Ban Koh Muk Trang Province Thailand

Life here moves between the working pier on the east coast and the wide sand of Had Farang on the west. Motorbike sidecars ferry people along narrow paved lanes under coconut groves, while the midday heat sends everyone to hammock shade. It suits travellers who want Andaman swimming and fresh crab curries without the thumping nightlife of bigger islands.
