Once again I came to an area of the Khlong Toei market where butcher shops are lined up. Every butcher store had trays lined up in front of them, displaying different parts of the meat. Some trays contain offal, some contain minced meat. It seemed that every kind of meat was being sold.
A red-colored plastic roof appeared over the storefront of the butcher store I stopped at. All the meats lined up under the roof looked redder than they actually were, and the people working inside were also reddish. In the Khlong Toei market, many butchers have red-colored plastic roofs over their products. It seems to be a custom for butchers to have a red plastic roof over their products.
The two women in the photo were also working under the red plastic roof, so they had a slight reddish tint. As I watched, one was expressionless as she handed the bagged meat to her colleague, who was equally expressionless as he received it. I guess the work they do every day is just routine. Even if they don't talk to each other, they must be working in unison.
