Bang Bao
The culinary stand-outs of Bang Bao are undoubtedly the seafood restaurants on the pier which are surely some of the best in Ko Chang. Prices here can be expensive though, so for cheaper Thai dishes head for terra firma -- there is a group of budget Thai restaurants gathered on the road into the town, just before you get to the 7-eleven.A walk past the array of the scrumptious bread rolls and cakes and you might just be lured into Bang Bao Delight. The restaurant boasts funky decor including a love heart-shaped aquarium and a nice view over the bay. Dishes are basic Thai staples with a seafood accent, and prawns and crabs feature heavily on the menu. There's also a small crafts section where you can pick up something a bit different to the usual made-for-tourist knickknacks. It's on the right side of the pier as you approach from the road.
Another of the fresh-as-can-be seafood outfits along the pier, Chow Lay Seafoods is considered among the best by Bang Bao's regular punters. There's an open-air kitchen as you walk through the back where you catch the team of chefs prepare the catch of the day. There's also a modest selection of international wines to wash it all down. Last but not least, Seabird Seafood has tanks teaming with crabs, prawns and fish of a dozen descriptions, all bound for someone's dinner table as soon as they can say kin pla! (eat fish). It's on the right side of the pier as you walk towards the boats and as with all of the eateries in this part of town, you eat at the back, overlooking the bay. It's relatively expensive, but if ever there was a place for splashing out on fresh seafood this would be it. Staff can also arrange fishing trips.
