The Thongsala night market is awesome for several reasons:
- It's the cleanest I've seen, has seating, is well lit, and like most local markets is ultra cheap cheap!
- The coconut shakes are perfect, ask for nit noi naam taan (just a little sugar)
- You can buy the best smokey bbq'd chicken ever for just 20 baht (NZ$0.80)
- Last but by no means least, there is a mango and sticky rice stall (oohhh yeeeeaah!)
And here is one of my favourite places on Koh Phangan. The mango and sticky rice stall. 50 baht (NZ$2) for a whole sweet, juicy mango and the most tantalising coconut flavoured sticky rice I've had the pleasure of tasting. I had no idea. Here I was, all this time, thinking that I had tried this local delicacy. But no... now I have and I am hooked. Completely, utterly, whole heartedly, can-I-live-on-just-this-one-meal, hooked.
If we end up living here and you come to visit, you have my word I will shout you a night out at this market. It's a must do.
