The man was just buying meat in a butcher in Khlong Toei Market

The section of meat in Khlong Toei Market was vast. Many butchers were doing business together here. The large table in front of me was also occupied by the enormous amount of chickens. The chicken legs were piled up there.

Watching the chicken legs and people working here, a man came and stood in my way. He was a customer. And he, who wore a rough look, started to order to the clerk.

After the clerk was ready to sell, the customer plucked some bills out from his pocket. He stretched his arm to the clerk and gave the bill to him. On the other hand, the clerk kept lowering his eyes. He seemed to be stared down while having a plastic bag.

I witnessed the whole thing beside them. However, I didn't understand why the customer was so overbearing.
