The woman wearing a hat sold the lottery by the wayside and a man bought from her

Woman sold the lottery and man buying the lottery — Shot in the city of Mae Klong, Thailand

In the course of walking around the streets in Mae Klong, I found a table placed by the roadside. And a woman wearing a floral hat took the seat beside it. She was selling the lottery there.

Like other countries, the lottery seemed popular also in Thailand. It was common to see lottery sellers during walking around. Although the Thai economy has been growing fairly recently, there might be many people who wanted to strike it rich.

The lottery has a long history. It is said that the lottery was sold for the first time over 2000 years ago in China. They say the revenue was appropriated to build the Great Wall.

On reconsidering the matter, I wondered for what the revenue was appropriated in Thailand.
