In my area, the sweet stuff is called cream of coconut and like @heidih said is often found with cocktail or baking supplies.  Coco Lopez is a popular brand.  

As described here from thekitchn:

 

This description from thekitchn was definitely not written by anyone who's been to SE Asia and toured even 1 market.  There is no simmering involved in making eithre coconut milk or cream.  Coconut cream (sometimes called #1 milk) is what is obtained when you take freshly grated coconut and squeeze.  Coconut milk (sometimes called #2 milk) is when you take the once squeezed grated coconut, add water and squeeze again.
