The street vendor cooked Thai crape called Roti at the food stall in Chinatown

I walked through the messy market-like streets and into the other streets that stretch into Bangkok's Chinatown. This street was different and less crowded. It is a street with a calm atmosphere. It was just right for walking.

There were a few food stalls at the end of the street. Although there are few pedestrians now, there must be a certain amount of pedestrian traffic. The man in the photo is one of those who had a stall on such a calm street. He had a wagon with a griddle on the side of the road, and was selling Thai-style crepes. Thai-style crepes are called roti. The word "roti" may conjure up images of what is served with curry in India, but Thai roti is a sweet pastry. Since they are called by the same name, they must have been originally the same thing.

I see raw eggs and bananas on the wagon. A man was happily working with earphones in his ears. I was attracted by his happy atmosphere and approached him. Although he was working while listening to music, the man noticed me when I got close to him. He noticed that the camera was pointed at him.

This is a reasonably busy place, and the man's job is to sell snacks to passersby. However, it is not often that a camera is pointed at a passerby. Upon spotting the camera, the man began to smile shyly.
