Rajamangala Beach is a beautiful and well-known tourist attraction in Trang Province. It is also the site of important events such as the ‘Underwater Wedding Ceremony,’ a famous tradition of Trang. However, the beach has been experiencing continuous coastal erosion, with significant shoreline retreat compared to the past. This study aims to analyze the trends of coastal erosion and determine whether erosion is increasing or decreasing. The data were collected using historical imagery from Google Earth from 2014 to 2021, supplemented by previous research from 2012 to 2014. The length of the eroded shoreline was measured each year to analyze the erosion trend. The findings will be used to raise public awareness and collaborate with local communities and authorities to develop appropriate solutions to mitigate future coastal erosion and preserve the beach's environment.
