Short answer: Trang is known for its food (dim sum, roast pork) and pretty islands. Staying in Trang town is best if you want the food and onward transport, near the train station. For a mainland beach go to Pak Meng (island views and a tour pier); for the real island feel cross to Koh Ngai, Koh Mook or Koh Kradan with their white sand and clear water.
