Ways to tell them apart:
Chow sounds like chowder or chowhound, which are related to food, helping you remember that chow refers to food or eating.
Ciao is an Italian word used as a greeting or farewell, which you can remember by associating it with a simple handshake, often accompanied by a verbal exchange.
To differentiate, think of chow as a word you might use before or during a meal, while ciao would be something you say when meeting or leaving someone.
