Thread: Advice wanted: We're going backpacking, almost...

I don't have a backpack, just a sports bag, she has a small rucksack.



I can chuck all our clothes and everything else into my bag faster than having to fold it into a backpack. And if I need to get something out I don't need to blindly rummage around then take stuff out just to get my false teeth



We're tavelling lighter and more stylish


Was frustrated at the small number and lack of convincingly decent places suggested by all the online hotel websites, Always used them to reassure myself that sleeping arrangements weresorted. But what happens is I always would see several better places that weren't online, often better deals.

We wanna go to Koh Muk, Koh Libong and any other neighbouring island in that vicinity. Once again, online they spew up the same places on each site. Agoda reel you in with low prices but minus tax, and booking.com have a habit of pretending it's the last room available.

Anyway, we're landing in Trang, and that's about it. Nothing booked onwards and no getting ripped off by those van and boat combination rip offs.

We use pblic bus/songthaew to the Hat Yao pier at Trang. Where to next?

We're gonna find bungalows on arrival.

It's doable but I need some pointers from you lot.
