Trat - Bank Managers' Choice
 |
The province’s slogan which reads “the province
of fifty-islands, priceless red rubies, sweet
zalacca, Siamese Ridgebacks, Ko Chang Naval
Battle, eastern end of Thai coast” truly reflects
the characteristics of this province. Trat is a
seaside province everybody dreams of visiting at least once in a lifetime. The reason being Trat’s numerous beautiful tourist attractions and its
reputation as a city of precious gemstones.

In addition to tourist destinations and local museums, Trat also
offers great food. I am Samart Mantham, the Manager of Trat
Branch. I would like to introduce some good restaurants to you.

Meng Pet Yang
The owner of this restaurant told us that his secret of great taste lies in the “dry simmering technique”: to simmer herbs, duck, chicken, seaweed, fish maw together with no water to get the soup with great taste. A local herb called “bustard cardamom” is added in the duck with Chinese gravy (pet phalo) to achieve its uniquely delicious taste.
