Trang River

The Trang River (RTGS: Mae Nam Trang, pronounced [mɛ̂ː náːm tráŋ]) is a major river in Trang Province, Thailand, alongside the Palian River. It has two primary sources: one originating from Khao Luang, the highest peak of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Range in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, and another from Krabi Province. Both tributaries flow southward and converge at the Banthat Range in Phatthalung Province before entering Trang Province. Within Trang, the river traverses several districts, including Ratsada, Huai Yot, Wang Wiset, Na Yong, Kantang, and the southeastern portion of Mueang Trang. It discharges into the Andaman Sea at the Kantang estuary in Kantang District, which also houses Kantang Port. The river extends approximately 123 km (76.4 mi) in length and has an average width of 30 m (98.4 ft). Significant tributaries include Khlong Chi, Khlong Tha Pradu, Khlong Kapang, Khlong Muan, Khlong Yang Yuan, Khlong Lam Phu Ra, Khlong Nang Noi, and Khlong Sawang. Due to the relatively narrow basin of the Trang River, arable land for rice cultivation is limited. The region experiences seasonal flooding typically from October through December annually. The river supports diverse aquatic fauna. Common species include catfish such as Hemibagrus filamentus and H. nemurus
