Place To Eat

Trang is noted as a town rich of food. The cuisine in Trang is deliciously different from other parts of Thailand, a blending of Thai, Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences. Good foods is, naturally, a major highlight, to be enjoyed in hotels, restaurants, and open-air cafes around the town. It's a shame we still see a lot of tourists eating Hot Dog in front of 7-eleven in Trang. This new section is to help you get what you deserve in the town of appetising food. Don't miss Trang style breakfast in any Ko Pii (Coffee) Shops. Also try out local and chinese dishes in several restaurants in town.

Ko Pii Shop

Try the typical Trang "Dim Sum"- many very small  delicious dishes,  you pay only what you did eat. Both the top shops for coffee (Ko Pii; Hokkien word) and the less popular ones, lie on every road, and also a combination of noodles and many rice dishes. The most popular aspect is that a drink of Ko Pii is always accommanied with many delicious Dim Sum filling the table- all of which are carefully prepared from traditional recipe which are completely different from others. The time for Dim Sum is early in the morning, late afternoon and midnight. One of the famous Ko Pii shop is "Ton Noon Dim Sum" at 202 Pad Sathani Rd and 122 Pattalung Rd. Typical dishes you will find in Ko Pii Shops: Paa-thong-ko - fried sweet pastry Salapao - Chinese bun Kanom Jiip - dumplings Muu Yaang - Trang-style Roast Pork Jok - thick Chinese rice soup When you order coffee in these Ko-Pii Shops, be sure to use the Hokkian word Ko-Pii rather than the Thai Ka-fae, otherwise you may end up with Nescafe'.  Coffee is usually served with milk and sugar - ask for Ko-Pii Dam for sweetened black coffee or Ko-Pii dam, mai sai naam-taan for black coffee without sugar
