Pak Meng Beach หาดปากเมง

Pak Meng Beach, Trang (11 May, 2014)


Pak Meng Beach หาดปากเมง (GPS: 7.50391, 99.31657), or in Thai, Hat Pak Meng, is a stretch of casuarina-lined beach in Trang Province, Thailand. The beach is in the subdistrict or tambon of Mai Fat, about 40 kilometers from Trang City. The coastal road the follows Pak Meng Beach is about 5 kilometers in length. It ends at a pier where you can take boats to different islands of the Trang archipelago such as Koh Mook and Ko Ngai. There are also a cluster of souvenir shops and travel agent booths at the north end of the beach.

The section of Pak Meng Beach near the pier is lined with parking bays. These can get quite crowded on Thai public holidays, when the area is inundated with local tourists.

Pak Meng Beach, on its own, is not of much interest to foreign tourists. It merely serves as a springboard to boatrides into the Trang archipelago. Looking out from Pak Meng Beach is Ao Pak Meng, a bay sheltered by a cape, at the south of which is Koh Meng, or Meng Island, a limestone outcrop that juts out of the sea.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
