Looking for the day markets, Koh Phangan

We were looking for the day market in Haad Rin to find some lunch. We thought we received pretty good directions, but walked right past it .... Nevermind, we found a little Issan place down the end of the road serving up the staples from Eastern Thailand.

We feast on a plate of larb gai. The minced chicken dressed in a tangy lime dressing, with chunks of chilli, sliced shallot and lots of fresh herbs. To the side, a plate of fresh cucumber, snake beans and Thai basil.



Next we share a bowl of the aromatic beef soup, packed full of herbs and vegetables with thin slices of beef and a sprinkling of roasted rice. Yum!



Oh, and of course we found the markets on the walk home ;p and also stopped for a delicious ice-cream.

SAME SAME Burgers, Haad Rin

After a big night, and day at the Full Moon Party we both woke up craving something greasy ...  something homely ...  something like a burger !!  Luckily for us, just a skip down the sand is the SAME SAME burger bar.  



The burgers arrive in a little cardboard box. They are wrapped in some random burger and shawarma paper and a pile of crispy crinkly cut chips sit off to the side.



We both go for a burger with the works. It's piled high with a chunky meat patty, melted cheese, onions, bacon, pickles, shredded lettuce and tomato.



All washed down with some coca-cola, it was just what we were after !!
