Koh Libong
เกาะลิบง
The largest island in Trang Province and the most concentrated habitat of dugongs in Thailand, with seagrass beds and mangrove protection areas.
Koh Libong is the largest island in Trang Province. Its vast surrounding seagrass beds are home to the largest population of dugongs in Thailand, about a hundred or so, which is also where Trang's city mascot comes from. You can watch from a lookout on the northeast of the island or join a local fisherman's dugong-watching boat trip, looking out at low tide. The island also has mangroves, a Muslim fishing village and bird-watching spots, and the locals are very friendly. From Hat Yun pier near Kantang, the boat trip takes about 20 minutes. Spotting dugongs takes luck, so do not chase them or feed them.
