The Khlong Toei market was bustling with activity. A variety of foodstuffs are sold here, and many locals come to buy. Shoppers swarm the aisles that stretch between the stores. It is fun to wander around this kind of market for locals. There are also some things for sale that you don't see in Japan. When I see giant water bugs being sold in large quantities, I realize that I am in a foreign country. In Thailand, giant water bugs are ground into a paste and used to flavor fish sauce. It is also sold at Khlong Toei market.
But looking around at such ingredients may be tedious for young children. Toys are not sold here, and only foodstuffs are lined up in front of the stores. The little girl who came with her father seemed to have gotten tired of walking around. She sits down in the aisle and looks off into the distance. Her face shows no sign of curiosity. The father seemed to be at a loss about the situation and stood silently next to the girl, checking his phone.
