Fresh Coconut Prepared in Thailand by Local Man

Every Thai neighborhood enjoys the freshest coconut milk prepared daily by a local entrepreneur such as this guy, who has a small-scale machine at home. Each coconut is minced and pressed to make coconut milk, then the remaning material is turned into coconut oil. We love the spirit, and savor the fresh local flavor, of cottage industries like this found throughout Thailand. In an age of mass-produced food, who doesn't appreciate coconut milk that your neighbor just made a few hours ago?
