Cashew nuts are abundant here and so we visited a Cashew nut factory on Thepkrasattri Road. They told us that all nuts are removed from the shell by hand. They are then dried. The fruit is about the size of a pair and produces one nut only. Two examples of the fruit are hanging on the machine.
They had the nuts coated in a variety of flavours. We bought chocolate and chili coated nuts.

There are a few hills in Phuket, one with restaurants on top and one with huge radio and TV antennae, this is Monkey hill. We drove up to see the view not realising that Monkeys are still living on the hill. On the way up we came across a few eating fruit the locals had left for them. They are a pretty brown colour monkeys and are very relaxed. The one big chap was taking a nap on the pavement!
