Hello, Trang Islands.
Find your beach.

Koh Kradan is the beach-and-snorkelling option. Rather than adding another island transfer immediately, ask your accommodation which part of the reef is suitable that day and where to enter without crossing shallow coral. Visibility, water depth and the landing point can change the experience.

For food, Seven Seas Restaurant is a named on-island option, with a restaurant and Barnacles Bar listed by the resort. If you are staying elsewhere, ask about visitor access and available tables before walking over. Check the actual menu: an island restaurant bill is not the same thing as a mainland street-food budget.

Pak Meng, Kuan Tung Ku and Hat Yao are different mainland departure points used for Trang Sea trips. Pak Meng is identified by the tourism authority as a departure base for island day tours. Your hotel transfer or scheduled boat may use another pier, so copy the exact one from the booking rather than choosing the nearest-looking map result.

Ask whether the fare covers a mainland pickup, the boat and arrival at your hotel or only the island landing. Confirm the return route at the same time. In rough weather, that route may change or not run; a provider's current message is more useful than a timetable screenshot from another season.

If your base is Koh Kradan, Seven Seas lists casual dining and an open-air bar: an actual evening option to enquire about, not a promise of an island nightlife strip. On a short stay, booking the table at your own property can also remove the need to find a transfer after dinner.

For a mainland night before or after the boat, use Trang town as a separate food stop rather than expecting it to be beside the island. Ask your island accommodation for its final meal service and transfer cutoff before arranging a late arrival. Restaurant opening and boat arrival need to work together.
