In Trang this time? Skip the usual beach day and go discover something a little different — the world of “Nipa Palms”! Take a little detour to Yan Sue in Kantang, a small community with a big story rooted in the local way of life. Here, nipa palms are more than just pretty greenery along the water — their leaves, fruits and stems are turned into food, sweets, natural dyes, handicrafts and creative local products.
And this is not a place to just look around — come make, taste, touch and chat your way through the community, from trying natural-dye batik and tasting local treats to making biochar soap and weaving with nipa palm stems. One visit, plenty to experience, plenty to discover, and lots of stories to take home.
So next time you’re in Trang, don’t just ask “Where should we go?” Ask, “Where’s Yan Sue?” — and let’s go find it!
