GinGin Hotel, Trang Old Town
Bar and restaurant rooms with staff fluent in English and Thai
About this hotel
GinGin runs a restaurant and bar on site, serving American, à la carte, and Asian breakfasts, a fuller food offer than most of Trang's 4-star category manages. Family rooms combine a balcony, city view, and flat-screen TV, and reception staff who speak both English and Thai smooth over the practical side of a stay for travellers less familiar with the area. A lift, clothes rack, and daily linen service round out the rooms, and free WiFi runs throughout the property. The hotel sits six kilometres from Trang Airport, with the old town itself reachable by a short local transfer rather than a long drive out. The hotel sits within Trang's old-town grid rather than a resort district, a genuine advantage for anyone wanting the clock tower square and market stalls within easy reach after checking in.

Our take
GinGin suits travellers who want a restaurant and bar on site alongside English-speaking staff, a genuine convenience for a first visit to Trang. The balcony city-view rooms and family layout work well for a multi-night stay geared around exploring the old town by day and eating on site in the evening.
- Ask reception for old-town recommendations directly, staff fluency in English makes this easy here
- Try the on-site restaurant's à la carte breakfast over the standard buffet for a more local menu
- Book a balcony room for the city view, it is a genuine feature of this property rather than an upsell

Why guests love itHaving staff who switched easily between English and Thai made the first two days in Trang far less stressful than expected, especially when asking for old-town recommendations beyond the obvious clock tower stop. The on-site restaurant covered dinner most nights, saving the hassle of finding somewhere with the kids after a full day out. The balcony room's city view was a genuine highlight rather than a marketing line, and the six-kilometre run from the airport kept arrival simple.
