Trang is a friendly town in the southern part of Thailand. It is less touristy than many of\u00a0the other travel hubs in Thailand, and it offers really good places to eat. If you are a foodie consider staying for a night. You will find excellent southern local Thai food, as well as\u00a0Chinese dim sum (the 3 of us love Dim Sum) and Malay\u00a0curries.<\/p>\n
Arriving at 9 am on the train from Bangkok<\/a> and only on our third day in Thailand, we were still acclimatizing; getting used to the heat, and getting over the jetlag. We were also not in a hurry to go to an island but felt more like exploring the food places in the small city of Trang, so we checked in on the little hotel My friend hotel<\/a>, close to the train station. There were vacant rooms in most places.<\/p>\n The traditional breakfast in Trang is dim sum, and close to the hotel and train station is a nice cafe called Kopi<\/a>, where dim sum is served till around 11 am. We sat down\u00a0and was served Chinese jasmine tea for free while waiting for the dim sum and\u00a0sala bao to bee steamed. Kopi also makes nice traditional Thai\u00a0coffee, that we came back for a couple of times.<\/p>\n There are a couple of other Dim sum restaurants around, many of them are a little walk out of town but in the center, you can also find\u00a0Laytrang<\/a>, which have a large dim sum menu\u00a0and looked really nice also.<\/p>\n We spend most of our day in Trang tasting and discovering different places to eat, ordering just one or two dishes to share.\u00a0On the same street as Kopi, in the direction away from the train station, we had some really nice homemade curries served over rice. 1 dish for 40 baht, 2 for 50.\u00a0 Find the place here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Behind the train station in Trang, you’ll find a local food market. The sellers there are sweet and service minded. Expect small treats for free and ask for careful preparation of your fresh pineapple.<\/p>\nDim Sum Breakfast in Trang<\/h2>\n
