Festivals
Festivals in Thailand are a chance to celebrate and ‘let the hair down a little. The atmosphere is always lively and fun and a great way to enjoy Thai spirit at it’s best.
Trang Product Fair Held from the 2nd to the 13th of April, this fair combines traditional performances of singing, dancing and shadow plays with contests, pageants and the sale of local products.
Cake Festival Trang is well known for making delicious cakes, particularly in the village of Ban Lam Phu Ra, where the tradition dates back generations. August, when the festival is held, is therefore a particularly delicious time to visit the province.
Roast Pork Festival
The traditional recipe for roast pork involves fermenting it with herbs and then grilling until the skin is crispy and the meat tender. This special recipe, famous throughout Thailand, is celebrated during this September festival. Trang roast pork is traditionally eaten with coffee for breakfast.
Ta Phao Shell Festival Held at Pak Meng Beach, near the hotel, this festival promotes conservation and protecting the environment. Amongst the highlights is a contest to gather the taphao shells, which are plentiful on the beach.
Vegetarian Festival Although Phuket is most well known for this festival, the Thai Chinese inhabitants of Trang, also celebrate the vegetarian festival around the full moon in October. After nine days and nights of a strict vegetarian diet, there is a great procession and the lighting of thousands of firecrackers.
