The family with only one umbrella was walking in a torrential downpour

The sky looked like it was going to rain in the morning. As I walked around Chatuchak Market, sure enough, it began to rain. In September, Bangkok is in the middle of the rainy season. While rain is inevitable, heavy rain is not kind to travelers. I took shelter from the rain in front of a store, idly watching the people moving in a daze under the roof.

I thought the heavy rain would stop soon, but no matter how long I waited, it never did. Most people had umbrellas, but the rain was so heavy that they were inadequate. Everyone was walking in covered areas to avoid the rain. However, there were some people who bravely stepped out into the rain. Such was the case with the family in the photo.

The family with two adults and two children was walking in the rain, and they were carrying an umbrella. But there was only one umbrella for the four of them. It was impossible for all of them to fit under the umbrella, even though it seemed to be losing its power in the rain. The family members who had decided to stay under the eaves of the roof were soaked to the skin, but they seemed to be having a good time. Perhaps they feel that being confronted with a torrential downpour in an unusual marketplace is equally unusual and entertaining.
