Transportation in Trang

Trang's transport scene is built around shared songthaews and motorcycle taxis for short hops, with vans and buses handling the longer runs to nearby provinces. Songthaews are the cheapest way to move around town, flag one on the main roads and hop off anywhere along the route. Motorcycle taxis are quicker through traffic but cost a bit more. The drivers usually gather at the market and bus terminal. For trips out to the islands or neighboring towns, the air-conditioned vans leave from the central bus station and are a comfortable middle-ground option. First-timers should know that Trang Airport sits about 7 km southwest of town. There's no rail link, so the realistic choices are the airport taxi counter (moderate, fixed fare) or pre-booking a ride through the Grab app (often a fraction of the taxi price). Ignore the unlicensed touts in the arrivals hall. Stick to the official queue or your app to avoid inflated rates.
