However, if Khao Tom will seem too boring, Koh Chang has much more to offer, such as:

The main thing is to find one that attracts the biggest crowds.

Deciding to eat on Koh Chang, forget the burgers, sandwiches and other fast food; Thailand has to offer food that is cooked as fast, but is much more nutritious, tasty and healthy for your body and mind. Here we must admit that at this point there is a serious problem before which during the lunch break, fold even Thai office employees is a huge selection of food! Where to go? What to eat? Here are some popular suggestions: Kuai Tiew (noodle soup), Pad Thai (Thai fried rice noodles rice with shrimp), Pad Krappau Nuea (fried beef with Basil leaves), Pad See Yu (noodles in soy sauce), or Khao Pad (fried rice with choice of meat or seafood).
All these dishes are prepared from fresh ingredients, and cooking time takes about 5 minutes. The price for lunch, including a drink, will cost approximately 50-60 Bath.
Another dish that you must try while on Koh Chang Khao Niew Gai Yang (sticky rice with BBQ chicken). Some restaurants that rule Thais from northeastern Thailand specialize in this dish, put that in your mouth is better hands is the best guarantee ease.
Most people have never encountered sticky rice prior to their arrival in Thailand, so first work out. Sticky rice is as follows: break off a small piece, the size of a large walnut, crumple it in your hand, then make a thumb in the middle of the recess - and here's your spoon ready. Scoop this spoon garnish and holding the same thumb this side dish (which he would not have fallen away from the rice), send all the contents in his mouth. Definitely a fun meal and very delightful.

Thai Dinner

The Thai people are no hard and fast rules regarding food, eat in the evening. Many locals prefer a light dinner which usually is in the form of a Cup with a thick and hearty noodles, but for families when they finally get together - dinner main food of the day, so the food can be more complex, many of the dishes and the meal takes more time.
For families or friendly company, dinner, never consists of separate dishes. In the center of the table always install all the available dishes and each puts in his plate that he likes is a great way to please every consumer.
If You order a dinner for a group, we suggest that You chose a certain balance: something is spicy, something sour, it's not a vegetable dish, this is only from meat or fish. You should also include in your order or soup or curry, or both together.

Dining Etiquette

Because Thai food is mostly presented in the form of finely shredded or chopped pieces, very rare to see on the table knife; usually eat a spoon in her right hand, she is on the left. With a fork put in a spoon...and then you know. In higher society, every dish is served with its own spoon, so if you want something to put yourself on a plate, with the center of the table, use a spoon lying in the same dish. Everyone in the company is bound to have a separate plate with rice. In addition, You will enjoy the food much longer, if they separately try the taste of each dish, instead mix in the dish together all the flavors.
A clean plate is a good example of Thai society, commendable of your chefs and delicious food. While half-eaten food in the center of the table, often hidden in the fridge until the next day, and the food on individual plates are normally discarded, and the majority of Thai people complain about, that's what they say - throw out food in the world, where still many people are starving. So it is advisable to eat what you have on the plate.

A small introduction in Thai cuisine. From Phuket to Chiang Mai the abundance of its exotic flavors and aromas makes Thai food the most coveted of all international cuisines. Because walking around Koh Chang constantly reminds about it these aromas and tastes apparently inexhaustible. But this does not mean that you should start with juicy pieces of fried pork on a skewer or fire 'Tom Yum' cup.
