On 8 December, 1941, Netherlands declared war on Japan. On the night of 10-11 January, 1942, the Japanese attacked Menado in Sulawesi. At about the same moment they attacked Tarakan, a major oil extraction centre and port in the north east of Borneo. On 27 February, the Allied fleet was defeated in the Battle of the Java Sea. The following day, Japanese troops landed on four places along the northern coast of Java almost undisturbed. On 8 March, the Allied forces in Indonesia surrendered. The colonial army was consigned to detention camps and Indonesian soldiers were released. European civilians were interned once Japanese or Indonesian replacements could be found for senior and technical positions.
Ko Muk or ‘Pearl Island’ lies 13km (8 miles) due south of Trang’s Pak Meng Pier. Until fairly recently a remote back-packer destination with a small resident population of Chao Lae ‘Sea Gypsies’, Ko Muk is fast developing into a more up-market destination.<br/><br/> Tham Morakot or ‘Emerald Cave’ is a major local attraction. Visitors have to swim about 75 meters (240 ft) through a water-filled cavern at high tide, part of the swim being in virtual pitch darkness, to reach a hong or sea-filled lagoon that is otherwise shut off from the outside world, with the only access other than the tunnel being by the inaccessible heights of the collapsed dome allowing sunlight into the lagoon below. Boats can also enter the lagoon, which has a small white sand beach, at low tide.<br/><br/> The east coast of the island is undeveloped by tourism and remains the domain of the local fisherfolk including Chao Lae. 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.<br/><br/> 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.
