Born in a Thai-Chinese family from the south, Bree has a natural interest for Persanakan culture and Trang’s history is at the crossroads of Malay, Sino-Portuguese and Thai trading routes thanks to its pioneering of rubber cultivation in the early 20th century. In this program, she shares with us the most interesting aspects of these 2 destinations.
Highlights of the Journey:
- Snorkeling and diving in Lipe
- Kantang
- Perenakan cuisine
This journey will make you discover one of the most picturesque island in the Andaman Sea, part of the Adang-Rawi Archipelago and known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and laid-back atmosphere Koh Lipe. A few days to enjoy the beach, snorkeling and the views, this journey continues to the next province to the North: Trang.
Trang is known for its diverse population, Muslims, Buddhists, Chinese Perenakan and indigenous communities. This cultural diversity is reflected in the local cuisine, architecture, and festivals. The distinctive cuisine features a blend of Thai, Chinese, and Malay influences. Local dimsum and "Kanom Jeen Trang," (rice noodle served with various curries and sauces), must be tasted. Trang is also one of Thailand's major rubber-producing provinces – the plantations play a significant role in its economy as well as the various handicrafts (woven mats, baskets) made by local artisans.
This itinerary can be easily connected to programs from Langkawi, Malaysia (direct speedboat between Lipe and Langkawi), or as an extension before or after Krabi programs and Phatthalung program.
