Eat and meet

Trat

Aside from the central market, Trat has a smatering of places to eat.

Opposite Guy's Restaurant, Joy's Pizza is an intimate restaurant, popular with the local expats and visitors alike. It offers a range of Italian influenced western treats, with pizza being their speciality, and they do a very tasty version if you're looking for a splurge. The walls are lined with original artworks by Joy herself, and her French husband Alex can provide good local info. Rumours were abound during 2008 that the owners are going to move to a new location a little further out of town to build a bakery; so if its closes when you arrive don’t fret, ask a local where their new place is.

No sign in English denotes Klua Rimkhong Cafe as a cafe but the menu out front is a giveaway. Newly painted in white and with quaint outdoor tables it stands out on the street corner surrounded by mostly plain wooden Thai houses. Further on from Guy Guesthouse, the decor is attractive, simple and elegant, well above the standard of most Thai restaurants, particularly when the prices are quite reasonable. Dishes are not huge, but with a range of very tasty, fresh and well presented traditional Thai dishes. There are also some Thai-Inter dishes such as an attempt at a steak with sauce. Again a small portion but as the prices are reasonable you can always order more than one. Undoubtedly the most upmarket option in this area.

Sea Horse Cafe and Bar sits on Sukhumvit Rd just a five minute walk to the south of Trat market. With seashell mobiles, comfortable seating and relaxing tunes, this is a good place to unwind regardless of if you have any need to. We haven't tried their western food, but the Thai food is very good and the portions good for the price. There's three internet terminals if you have to check email and the streetside tables are great for people-watching. A very popular traveller hangout. Not the cheapest in town, but well worth trying.
