Thai Coffee.

We spent the afternoon with a personal guide from our hotel who took us around Phuket Town and up to a large Buddha on a hill.

Throughout the afternoon, we tried a few different dishes in Thai cuisine. The one that I liked the best, though, was the coffee.

We pulled up to a roadside stand on the way back to our hotel...

This old woman concocted an iced coffee for me from the following:

The darker brown cups are coffee. The rust-colored are tea with milk.

When she was finished making mine, she poured it over ice and handed it to me in a plastic bag handle.

It was strong. But mostly sweet. More of a dessert. Very good.

People in Thailand like sweet things.
