GinGin hotel, Trang Old Town stands in the old town of Trang, the provincial capital on the Andaman side of southern Thailand. The old town is a compact district of older streets and shophouses, where the pace is slower than on the beaches, and it works for travellers who want to see a Thai provincial town rather than a resort strip. Trang Railway Station is 300 m from the hotel, and the streets of the old town are easy to explore on foot.

Within a short walk you will find the Trang Clock Tower, 350 m away, a landmark of the old town, and the Nightmarket, 250 m away, which brings the streets to life in the evening. Shrines such as Pao Kong Shrine are scattered through the old streets, and the older buildings give the area its character. For onward travel, Trang Airport is 5 km from the hotel and the Trang Bus Station is 2.6 km away, and taxi service and car hire are available through the hotel.

A day in the area could start with a walk through the old town and a meal at one of the local restaurants, followed by a boat trip from the coast to the islands off Trang, including Libong, which is known for its dugongs. The old town itself is best seen on foot, at an unhurried pace.
