Review of Thailand 4th Army Radio Station TP4 FM Trang 103MHz

 

Since 2014, I began to discover about Thailand FM radio stations, regardless station content or frequency transmission, I mainly researched about the Thailand radio stations from southern region such as Satun, Trang, Yala, Songkhla, and Narathiwat.

 

Radio Thailand is government radio station in Thailand, it is not really my priority favorite radio because it is mainly talk radio for government to people, as part of government service.

 

My friend did FM DX in Langkawi, and I asked him whether RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz could be received there or not. I was told that Perlis FM 102.9MHz is not receivable in Langkawi, but interference from FM 103MHz Trang.

 

From that moment, I began to discover 4th Army Radio Station FM 103MHz Trang because it is receivable in Langkawi.

 

FM 103MHz Trang is operated by Royal Thai Army. I started to listen to this radio since 2020, but partly in 2017/18. This Trang army radio FM 103MHz plays Thai music which is relaxing enough because the playlists are mostly Thai country music, also known as Lukthung.

 

Its non-stop music programs are the key to attract me to listen to FM 103MHz Trang most of the time. 

 

TP4 FM 103MHz Trang plays music mostly daily from 6am to 7am, 9am to 11am, 12pm to 12.30pm, 1pm to 2pm, 3pm to 4pm (weekdays only), 5pm to 7.30pm (weekdays only), 3pm to 7.30pm (weekend).

 

Evening program like Lukthung Sa On from 8.30pm to 10pm is also playing music, but sometimes it airs interview or talk show.

 

I have been listening to this radio station for almost a year. The playlist is very good and variety, although it is fully Thai, unlike most of Malaysia radio stations play same songs over again.  

 

TP4 FM 103MHz Trang also certainly relay broadcast from Bangkok LIKE FM 103MHz. In 2020, it airs from 7.30am to 8am, then 7pm to 7.30pm. Since there is change of program schedule on February 2021, Bangkok Like FM 103MHz relay is moved to night slot, from 10pm to 11pm. Actually Bangkok Like FM 103MHz somehow plays same songs over again everyday in certain hours, especially evening hours from 7pm to 7.30pm.

 

Note: All indicated time is based on Thailand time zone (UTC+7). For Malaysia, the time zone is UTC+8, one hour earlier than Thailand. 

 

TP4 FM 103MHz Trang is a radio station to relax my mind and get me away from any form of stresses. Its Lukthung music is nice and relaxing.

 

For your information, TP4 FM 103MHz Trang can be listened via radio in Trang province, Southern Krabi, Thungsong area of Nakhon Si Thammarat province, and Satun. However, it can be received partly in Malaysia such as Langkawi and selected northern coast of Penang Island.
