Trat
Trat has some very good markets to go with a smattering of cheap local shops and traveller-oriented cafes.
The one not-to-be-missed food attraction in Trat is its night market that opens every evening around 17:00 (closing around 21:00) on the side street to Trad Hotel. It's marked off the main drag by a big sign that reassuringly reads, "Thai Food Safety Street". We suppose it's safe enough -- no parasites to report at least -- and the food is great. You'll find a wide mix of finger foods like meats-on-sticks, dumplings and Thai sweets to go with fresh fruit. Several sit-down spots allow you to fill up with a bowl of noodle soup or stewed pork with rice for 30 baht. A bit further north and on the other side of the main drag, across from the sign for S.A. Hotel, a couple of smaller food plazas serve made-to-order stir-fries, soups, noodles and salads for similar prices, with basic English menus available. Some of these stay open late.
