A Young Girl Peeked Anxiously Into The Room With A Group Of Troubled Adults

In Thailand, Where The Population Is Not Aging, Shuttered Shopping Streets May Be An Urban Legend

The Name Tuk-tuk Comes From The Sound Of Its Engine

There Was A Cemetery For Muslims In Bangkok, A Predominantly Buddhist City With No Graves

There Was A Mosque On One Of The Back Streets And A Muslim Cemetery Next To It

The Man Was Drinking Beer Along The Saensaep Canal, Which Was Built To Transport Soldiers And Weapons

When I Think Of Working In A Town Factory, I Imagine Them Wearing A Work Shirt, But The Women Were Dressed In The Same Way As When They Were Relaxing At Home

The Intersection Of The Canal And A Busy Street Was Bustling With Activity, Stores And Food Stalls

The Houses Lining The Alley Are Open, And It's Fun To See What's Going On Inside Behind Unguarded Open Doors

There Was A Stove On The Wayside Of The Alley, And The Woman Was Cooking A Stir Fry

I Saw Several Sewing Machines During My Stay In Thailand, But This Was The First Time I Saw An Electric Sewing Machine

I'm Finding That What I'm Looking For Is Lying On The Side Of The Canal That Runs Through Bangkok

The Way She Was Putting Her Head In Her Hands, I Could Feel The Girl Was Getting Tired Of Waiting

When People Who Pay Close Attention To My Behavior Call Out To Me Without Hesitation, It's A Moment I've Been Waiting For

The Woman Was Tying The Hair Of A Worker In The Mahachai Shopping Street

While Her Mother Was Shopping, The Little Girl, Who Had Been Idle, And I Were Looking At Each Other Perfectly

Although It Is Often Said That Eating Out Is Common In Southeast Asian Countries Including Thailand, Many People Come To The Market To Buy Food For Dinner

The Railroad Station Is A Little Far From The Mahachai Ferry Terminal, But You Can Get There Without Getting Lost On A Straight Road

The Boy Sitting Next To A Colander Of Dried Fish Called Phra Nin Made A Peace Sign

To Get From Baan Laem Station To Mahachai Station, You Have To Cross The Ta Chin River By Ferry

From The Baan Laem Station To The Ferry Terminal, One Must Proceed Through A Nondescript Residential Area

Cars Coming From Mae Klong Turn Around At Baan Laem And Head Back To Mae Klong

The Little Boy And Girl Stood Upright On Either Side Of The Car Window And Watched The Scene Outside As If They Were Devouring It

I Have A Preconceived Notion That Thai Railroads Do Not Operate On Time, But The Train To Baan Laem Station Departed On Time

The Two-car Mae Klong Line Train Cars Were So Rickety That I Could Sit Anywhere In Any Seat I Wanted

I'm Not Sure If The Girl Is Wary Of Strangers And Foreigners, Or If It's Because She Was Interrupted In Her Departure, But Probably The Former

Mae Klong Station, Where The Railway Market Is Located, Is The Terminal Station, Where The Train Turns Around And Heads Toward Bangkok

The Market, Which Had Been Open On The Tracks Until The Train Passed By, Would Temporarily Close And Give Up Its Position To The Train, Its Original User

Man Was Utterly Unmoved By The Approaching Train

I Bet You'll See Fewer And Fewer People Who Work With Cigarettes In Their Mouths

Unlike The Railroad Tracks That Go On Forever, The Railway Market Doesn't Go Very Far

Napping In The Aisle Is Not The Exclusive Domain Of Cats, So Some Humans Are Sleeping

Mae Klong Railway Market Is Famous For The Train Passing Right Through The Middle Of The Market

The Long, Quiet Air Filled The Market Held On The Railroad Tracks

The Train Would Be Coming In A Little While And We Would Have To Leave The Tracks, But The Shopkeepers Were Going About Their Business As Usual

Stores Were Open Right On Both Sides Of The Tracks And Shoppers Were Coming And Going On The Tracks

Smartphone Penetration In Thailand Is 70%, Which Is Apparently Higher Than The Penetration Rate In Japan.

The Woman Who Noticed Me Started Laughing Hysterically, Pointing At Me

There Was A Restaurant That Was Not A Restaurant, Not A Food Stall, But Had Plastic Chairs On The Storefront
