Thailand: Anantara Si Kao Beach Club, Ko Kradan, Trang Province

Thailand: Anantara Si Kao Beach Club, Ko Kradan, Trang Province

Ko Kradan lies 13km (8 miles) due south of Trang’s Pak Meng Pier and is just one of the Andaman Sea pearls that lay off Trang’s southwest coast.

Trang province was dependent on tin mining until the first rubber seedlings were brought into Thailand around 1901 – part of a long journey from South America via the neighboring Malay States.

Rubber, palm oil and fishing are the mainstays of the province's economy. Tourism is making an increasing impact as Trang’s Anadaman Coast and islands are increasingly developed and popularized.
