Woman Standing In Front Of A Heap Of Oranges

Shot at Khlong Toei Market in Bangkok, Thailand.

I came to Khlong Toei Market, which is one of the biggest local markets in Bangkok on that day. This was the first time in 2 years. Unlike the touristic markets, the local market was fascinated me so much. No one sells souvenir goods here. Instead of souvenir, the foodstuffs, which are got down the local people's throats, are sold here. And it was fun to walk around while watching both the foodstuffs and people.

So I visited this market again. Crossing the pedestrian bridge, I entered the market. First, I found a fruit store at the entrance. The table in the storefront was occupied by many oranges and they were piled up. All the oranges were green. And they didn't seem to be delicious to Japanese because of the color. The delicious oranges were colored in orange in Japan. And they seemed not to have matured yet.

However, the woman standing in front of the table was just browsing the oranges. Apparently, Thai oranges reach full ripeness even though they were green.
