Eat curry and noodles on the main road when you want a 40 to 70 THB plate. Nong Anat at the north end of Klong Prao village is the curry-rice room. Kin Dee, inland of White Sand, keeps a Thai menu.
Bang Bao is the expensive pier. A seafood sitting is often 300 to 400 THB a person. For the island map use Koh Chang. For the quieter Trat island use Koh Kood food.
