Trang

After a long coach which took 2 hours longer than expected for no apparent reason, we arrived in Trang. Now I'd be lying if I said this was a beautiful city, but I really enjoyed my time here, possibly the most out of anywhere in Thailand. Firstly (and let's face it, most importantly), the food was really good, especially for vegetarians like me! I'd struggled a bit in Hat Yai, so seeing that there were lots of places to eat was a real blessing.

We particularly enjoyed one vegan restaurant where the owner, upon hearing that we were in the city for a few days (during off season, I gather it's not too common), took out a piece of paper and wrote us out an entire day's itinerary, which we followed the next day - it was a great day out!

Another place we really enjoyed was the bookshop, Phan Ma Ba, which (maybe you're sensing a theme by now) was packed full of cats. We spent a whole afternoon cuddling the cats, drinking coffee, and reading books. Bliss!
