Phoebus 28:
'''Trang River''' () is one of main rivers of [[Trang Province]] apart from [[Palian River]].<ref name=Th></ref>
Trang River has two origins, the frist one is in [[Khao Luang]], a summit of [[Nakhon Si Thammarat Range]], [[Nakhon Si Thammarat Province]]. The second one is in [[Krabi Province]], both courses southward and confluence at Banthat Range in [[Phatthalung Province]] before flowing into Trang Province.
In the province of Trang, it flows through various districts as follows: [[Amphoe Ratsada|Ratsada]], [[Huai Yot District|Huai Yot]], [[Wang Wiset District|Wang Wiset]], [[Na Yong District|Na Yong]], [[Kantang District|Kantang]] and the south-east of [[Mueang Trang District|Mueang Trang]].
The river empties into the [[Andaman Sea]] at Kantang estuary, Kantang District where the location of Kantang Port, total length is with average width . It has important branches including Khlong Chi (คลองชี), Khlong Tha Pradu (คลองท่าประดู่), Khlong Kapang (คลองกะปาง), Khlong Muan (คลองมวน), Khlong Yang Yuan (คลองยางยวน), Khlong Lam Phu Ra (คลองลำภูรา), Khlong Nang Noi (คลองนางน้อย), and Khlong Sawang (คลองสว่าง).<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Trang River has a wide variety of aquatic life, the most common fish include [[catfish]] especially ''[[Hemibagrus filamentus]]'' and ''[[Hemibagrus nemurus|H. nemurus]]''. A rare species ''[[Anguilla bicolor bicolor]]'' that is hard to find elsewhere, found easily in this river. This type of [[freshwater eel]] can be used to cook a wide variety of dishes and has been popular with Trang people for a long time.<ref name="Trang"></ref>
In terms of history, the river has been associated with local history for thousands of years. Trang River in the past was believed to have a higher water level and used to be wide. It was the main thoroughfare from the Andaman coast to the present [[Thung Song District|Thung Song]] in Nakhon Si Thammarat. There is theory on the origin of the name "Trang". According to the theory claims the name derives from a [[Malay language|Malay]] word ''Tarangque'' ("dawn, morning"), it is possible that the Malay merchants who came to trade with [[Ayutthaya Kingdom|Ayutthaya]] or other empires at that time sailed along the river and arrived here at the time of dawn. And that made Trang as the main [[seaport]] of [[Malay Peninsula]] on the Andaman coast in ancient times.<ref name="Trang"/>
Trang River in the area of Mueang Trang District known as ''Khlong Tha Chin'' or ''Tha Chin River'' (คลองท่าจีน, แม่น้ำท่าจีน; "river of Chinese piers"). It is not related to [[Tha Chin River]] in [[central Thailand|central region]] in any way, though the two names share a similar-sounding root. Because the sub-districts where the river passes, such as Bang Rak, [[Thap Thiang]] are settlement to the [[Thai Chinese|Chinese]] as well as the Tha Chin River in the central region.
