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
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
