Koh Libong is the largest island in Trang Province, covering an area of around 25,000 rai. It is an island with a highly natural atmosphere—not bustling like other major tourist islands—yet full of charm through the traditional lifestyle of the locals (most of whom are Muslim) and its rich biodiversity.

Key attractions and notable features:

Dugong Habitat:
The waters surrounding Koh Libong, especially the eastern channel, are home to Thailand’s largest seagrass meadows, which serve as the primary food source for dugongs (Dugong dugon). This makes Koh Libong the place where visitors have the highest chance of seeing dugongs in their natural environment. (The best time to spot them is during low tide, particularly near the marine wildlife observation tower close to Laem Chu Hoi.)

Laem Chu Hoi:
Location of the headquarters of the Libong Archipelago Wildlife Non-Hunting Area. It is a scenic viewpoint that offers beautiful landscapes and views of nearby islands.

Tub Beach:
A sandy beach accessible by foot during low tide. This area is known as a gathering site for seabirds and shorebirds that migrate here around November to December.

Stone Arch:
A fascinating natural rock formation shaped by erosion into an arch-like opening. It is also one of the island’s most beautiful sunset photography spots.

Thung Ya Kha Beach:
A peaceful beach with long stretches of white sand and clear waters.
