The
biggest of Trang's
off-shore islands, Koh Libong
is around 45km off the coast from Pak
Meng Beach. Another Muslim community, the
population is spread across three main villages, Maphrao
Village, Khlong
Wa and Batubute
Village.
The
locals earn a living through fishing, rubber and fruit
plantations. Libong's highest peak can be seen from
Koh Lanta.
Libong
is blessed with a long stretch of unspoilt beach along
the west side of the island, Thung
Yakha, but for some reason few visitors come
here, instead choosing Ao To
Kea, which is just in the next bay.
The
naturally beautiful landscape of these bays is enhanced
by a small waterfall which flows down the overlooking
hills.
Juhoi Cape on the
east of Libong, is a sanctuary for migrating birds during
November and December. Similar to Koh
Ngai, more than 10,000 birds take a rest here on
their way south from Siberia. This is an official no-hunting
area. |
