Weary Butcher

Shot at Khlong Toei Market in Bangkok, Thailand.

Khlong Toei Market is large and it has long business hours. Although I have come here only in the daytime, it is said this market opens 24 hours 365 days. It is a sleepless market. Nevertheless, there are not bars and restaurants here. I wonder what kind of people come here to buy foodstuffs in the deep of night. And I also wonder when the people working here sleep.

The bespectacled woman in this photo might keep working a long span of time. She was taking a nap on the table in the storefront of a butcher. Apparently, she was not in a short break. She slept well while putting her face on her arms.

A stainless steel tray was placed in front of her. And minced meat was seen in it. Maybe, she was selling it while sleeping. However, I didn't know whether she woke up when any customers came at this rate.
