Bangkok to Trang

Trang province and it's capital city (of the same name) are prominent models of life in southern Thailand, whose culture is distinct within the geography of the country. It sits on the Andaman sea, which reflects back onto customs in a really spiritual way. When visiting Trang, there's one very special, cultural event not to miss. Manora dance shows, a type of traditional entertainment, are heavily practiced in this region. Troupes of dancers covered in sparkling garbs and pointy-eared headdresses gently move their long fingers to the plucky sounds of traditional Thai music.
