Woman Selling Shrimps And Crabs

Shot at Khlong Toei Market in Bangkok, Thailand.

Many round trays were put on the edge of the passage in Khlong Toei Market. And marine products were set out on each tray. The shop in this photo above was selling shrimps and crabs. Some kinds of crab were seen in front of me. Some crabs were dark black and some crabs were tinged with red.

A woman wearing plastic globes stood in front of one of the trays. And she arranged the heap of crabs. I wondered why she wore globes. Maybe she didn't like it when the smell got stuck in her hands. Nevertheless, I thought her beautiful long hair could stink of crabs anyway.

In this market, not only shrimps but also crabs were sold. During watching crabs, it reminded me of Poo Pad Pong Curry. Poo means crabs, Pad means stir-fries, and Pong means powder. This Thai cuisine is curry with crabs.
