Pak Meng beach, Beach in Mai Fat, Trang Province, Thailand.
Pak Meng Beach stretches approximately seven kilometers along the Andaman Sea, featuring a crescent-shaped shoreline with light-colored sand that becomes firm enough to support vehicles when the tide recedes.
The beach derives its name from local folklore about Old Meng, an elder who tragically drowned with his family during a sea storm and whose body transformed into nearby Khao Meng mountain.
Local storytelling traditions preserve the legend of Old Meng through generations, reflecting the community's deep connection to maritime history and the sea's central role in their cultural identity.
Located 38 kilometers from Trang City, the beach serves as a departure point for boat trips to islands like Ko Ngai and Ko Kradan, with restaurants and facilities available nearby.
During low tide, a 500-meter stretch of dense sand becomes accessible for vehicle passage, allowing cars to traverse directly across parts of the beach due to its exceptional firmness.
