The baby was in the box beside the stall which its mother worked

Baby and its mother on the sidewalk at Chinatown — Baby and its mother on the sidewalk

The sidewalks of Rama IV Street, which runs through Chinatown, are a jumbled mess. In addition to the large number of people walking along the street, there were many street vendors setting up their stalls, making the sidewalks look like an open-air market. I was walking among the crowds, looking at what was being sold at the stalls. Here, fruits and snacks are sold. Although I was in a corner of Chinatown, there were not many items that reminded me of Chinese or Chinese food. They are the same kind of things that are sold in other places in Bangkok. It may be that there are not many overseas Chinese among the stall holders.

When I came to one of the stalls, I found a baby in a cardboard box next to the wagon. When I came to one stall, I saw a baby sitting on a cardboard box next to the wagon.

The baby sitting in the box was shy and did not look at me when I approached. She just looked at the mother as if she was asking for help. On the other hand, the mother, who may or may not be trying to help the baby, points at me and urges the baby to look at the camera. The baby was a little confused by the mother's lack of help.
