The tattoed man was working under the red plastic tent in a butcher in Khlong Toei Market

Tattoed butcher working in Khlong Toei Market — Tattoed butcher working

The roof of the butcher shop in the Khlong Toei market was made of red plastic sheets. Therefore, the inside of the butcher shop is a reddish world. It was as if I was looking through a camera with a red filter attached. It is not only this butcher shop that is like that. Other butchers also spread a red plastic sheet over the meat in the same way. It must have a meaning.

Perhaps the red plastic sheet is more effective in slowing down the damage to the meat than ordinary plastic sheets. No, it does not. I was thinking about this when another answer occurred to me. Perhaps it is because the red plastic sheet makes the meat look redder and tastier.

In any case, in this butcher shop, men and women work without worrying about such things. In the back of the shop, women were chatting and handling large chunks of meat, while in the front, a man was silently slicing meat with a knife in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed a tattoo like a spider's web on the arm of the man in the front. Since a spider's web has the meaning of mystery, intrigue, and danger, this man who is working diligently may actually have an evil side to him, despite his appearance.
