"Toey Pongsakorn," a young host from the show "Hom Phaendin Kline Ai Kaset," invited his adventurous partner "Mhok Kong Sorawit" to experience the charm of southern Andaman at Trang Province through a special agricultural tourism style. They started the day riding the "frog-head tuk-tuk," a symbol of Trang city, touring the old Sino-Portuguese building area, stopping to photograph street art and the dugong roundabout, before fueling up with a legendary breakfast at "Ruean Thai Dim Sum." There, they experienced the unique coffee shop culture and tasted over 100 varieties of freshly steamed dim sum, along with Trang-style grilled pork marinated with Chinese herbs and honey, grilled in an ancient pit oven until the skin was crispy and puffed, and the meat tender and juicy.
The highlight not to be missed was a deep dive into the "Nah Muen Sri Weaving Group" to witness the wonder of "cotton threads," a local agricultural product woven into fabric with wisdom passed down for over 200 years. They explored patterns innovatively woven and the transformation of natural dyes from bark and plants into nationally recognized fabric art. The Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) played a key role in "adding capital, knowledge, and market access," elevating community products to contemporary designs that sustainably appeal to younger generations. The trip ended with a premium shopping experience at Guanito Patisserie, tasting "foi thong crepe cake rolls," and viewing crafts from "Toey Pahnan," which remains a hub for selling handicrafts, handmade goods, and processed local products, effectively supporting income distribution and careers for Trang residents.
