Since it's my last weekend in Thailand I had to, of course, go to the weekend market. I discovered a whole new corner where, I think, they were having some sort of BINGO competition. Or that was the only word I could understand at least. 
I tried a new coconut dessert, coconut cream and palm sugar with slivers of coconut the shape and texture of gummy worms floating around. Served hot. Very sweet, very rich... not sure I need it again.
Yesterday I rode over to the bus station to investigate my trip to Penang. I stopped at a temple that I had seen when I first arrived (but didn't visit because I had my huge bag and was exhausted)

I discovered an overgrown path leading up to many more grave markers and a small chedi in the woods.
I stopped for lunch at a new vegetarian restaurant in Phuket Town and had a delicious green curry, fried rice, some type of greens and a coconut juice... all for 40 baht. I love cheap food.
I discovered another local market as well with lots of interesting food products. I picked up some fresh coconut milk which I had for breakfast this morning (I think I prefer the soy milk).
I ended the weekend with popcorn from the market and an indie flick.
