Where to book in Trang Islands: our two picks

The Trang islands are about boat logistics: pick the resort, then the pier. Both picks sit on Koh Ngai (Koh Hai), reached by boat; they come from the same operator, so treat them as two price points, not two owners.

By Kylian Dev

  • One independent address
  • One mid-range option on Trip.com
  • Weak points written down

Our short list

  • Koh Ngai Cliff Beach Resort — Northern tip of Koh Ngai (Koh Hai), Trang archipelago. The independent address we would book for something with character.
  • Koh Hai Fantasy Resort — Koh Ngai (Koh Hai), Trang archipelago. The easier, mid-range choice.

Best season: November to April is the dry season for boats and beaches; many island resorts close or run reduced service in the rains.

The two addresses

Where we would book in Trang Islands

Independent pick

Koh Ngai Cliff Beach Resort

Cliff-top beach resort · Northern tip of Koh Ngai (Koh Hai), Trang archipelago

What convinced us is the height: a viewpoint resort in an archipelago where most places sit at beach level. We would book it for the view, not for the walk to the sand.

Three things that make it special
