At Ban Chor Chamuang, meals unfold as a personal exploration of Trat’s coastal flavors and heartfelt recipes.

The surroundings lend a relaxed comfort, perfect for families and travelers alike. Children find their own happiness alongside the gentle sway of hammocks or the company of the restaurant’s friendly pup, making it a place where human moments unfold naturally.
