[Thailand] Boy Selling Dried Fishes | Travel, Photo and Essay by Tetsu Ozawa

The boy looked after a shop while selling dried fishes

The ferry crossed the Ta Chin river soon. As soon as I went out of the ferry landing, I started to walk. I headed to the train station. Yet I couldn't see any sign of the station. According to what the locals told me, I had to walk through a shopping street. So I entered the street. Many shops selling foodstuffs were side by side of the street. I walked the street while watching the articles for sale.

In the meantime, I came to a shop selling dried fishes, probably Phra Nin. Some big and round trays were placed in the storefront. And a boy sat beside one of them. He looked after the shop while selling the dried fishes. When I visited any market, it was common to see this kind of fishes. The dried fishes seemed to be popular in Thailand. Although I have never eaten these fishes in the food stall, they might be popular in the home cuisine.
