Don’t miss the morning market at the northern end of town. The stalls here fry chicken, grill coconut waffles, and bubble kettles with Thai doughnuts to be dipped in thick, sugary green curry. Tea (10B) arrives caramel coloured and floating on a layer of condensed milk. You'll be among very few fa·ràng (Westerners) here.
