Heap Of Dried Shrimp

Shot at Tha Tien Market in Bangkok, Thailand.

Tha Tien Market was wrapped by the silence. Not so many shoppers came to buy at the time of visiting. The articles for sale in the storefront seemed to have free time. Of course, the shop clerks had more time on their hands than they can handle. They chatted with their colleagues, watched their smartphones, or just gazed into space. The time flew slowly here.

The shop which I stopped was a dried food store. Many bags were displayed in the storefront and all of them were filled with dried small shrimps. These shrimps were seasoning agents. It is common to make broth with dried shrimps in Thai cuisines. The price tags were stuck in every heap. Although they looked the same for me, the quality seemed to vary.
