Man Was Washing Pig Legs In Khlong Toei Market

Shot at Khlong Toei Market in Bangkok, Thailand.

I came to the edge of Khlong Toei Market. A butcher was doing business there. And its backyard was in plain sight from the passage. And I could see a young man who had a straight fringe working there.

A big plastic container was placed in front of him. It was filled with water and various parts of pork were put in. And the young man was washing the parts. He might do it before selling.

However, the way of washing seemed to be rough. He had a battered dustcloth-like object in his hand. He washed the pig leg with it. I thought the pork was not treated gently. So these parts of pork were not articles for sale.

Anyway, the young man was scrubbing down happily. And he smiled at my camera when I focused on him.
