Thetraveljunkie.org – After a few days in Trang we travel like Soekarno and re-charge our batteries to continue with our route around the Southern Thailand. We found the most heritage station in the side of the city, Kantang Railway Station. This iconic railway station is historically a work of art in itself and it is impossible not to take any photos of it. Traveling like Soekarno when we are in the Trang is a must for us.

Thetraveljunkie.org – I’ve been baking again! We went to Kuk Ming-Lum Phura Cake Shop, the origin of famous cake in Trang, Thailand. Trang Cake is a cake that made of only a few ingredients; flour, butter, sugar, food color, baking powder and chicken eggs. The process of baking is to mix all the ingredients together and then pour it into the mold cake which has the hole in the middle. In Indonesia we call it with Kue Bolu. In Trang, baking cake is a common activity within household. It is widely baked and developed into several flavors like pandan, three flavor, fresh milk, coconut, orange, green tea, jack fruit, vanila and many more. They were simply amazing!
