While Making A Bouquet, The Man Was Holding A Large Banana Leaf To Be Used As Material For The Bouquet

The Man Who Methodically Laid Out His Tools On The Table Was A Shoemaker

Walking Through The Market, Where The Hustle And Bustle Seems To Have Hidden Itself Away Somewhere, I Feel As If I Am Walking Through A Town Built In The Depths Of The Earth

There May Be No Room In Thailand For A Certain Kind Of Self-catering Belief That One Must Cook One's Own Food To Be Healthy

The Age-old Sewing Machine The Woman Was Using Was Made By Janome Sewing Machine Co

Both The Maechi, A Buddhist Laywomen, And The Boy Had A Shaved Head

In Contrast To The Railway Market On The Tracks, The Center Of Mae Klong Has A Quiet Atmosphere

The Woman Was Slicing Fish On A Chopping Board Placed In A Bucket

Trains Do Not Come To The Mae Klong Railway Market Very Often, As There Are Only Four Round Trips A Day

The Woman Who Slept Soundly Must Have Missed The Opportunity To Sell Her Fish When A Customer Came In

Walking Aimlessly Through The Railroad Market, I Found A Woman Who Was Just As Lazy As I Was

I Looked Down At My Feet At The Railroad Track Market In Mae Klong And Saw The Rails Running Solidly

The Long, Narrow Track That Stretches Right In The Middle Of The Market Is Still A Working Track, And Trains Still Run Through It Several Times A Day, Although The Number Of Trains Is Low

In Mae Klong, There Is A Pedicab Called Samlor That You Cannot Find In The Center Of Bangkok

A Group Of Men Were Playing A Game Of Thai Chess Called Makruk In A Park On A Weekday

Thai Chess Boards Were Placed On The Table Where The Men Were Seated

Makruk, Like Chess And Japanese Chess, Is A Board Game That Originated In Chaturanga In Ancient India

When I Travel, I Often See People Playing Chess, Shogi, Or Cards Outdoors, But It Is Always Men

It's My Personal Opinion That What I Consider Junk Scattered About Is Probably A Treasure Trove For This Guy

In The Quietness Of The Alley, The Woman Stood By A Blue-walled Window

The Buildings Along The Canal Are Not All Stores, But A Mixture Of Ordinary Residences

Maybe There's A Division Of Life Between Men's Barbershops And Women's Beauty Salons

Stores Lined Up Along The Canal For Tourists, Which Makes Me Feel Like They Are Deliberate

There Was Also A Picture Of The Former King On The Wall Of The Barber Shop

The Man Sat Down In A Daze, His Nostrils Firmly Stuffed With A Little Flower

The Broom Vendor Woman Kept A Bored Look On Her Face As She Offered Me A Broom

Although Deposit Interest Rates In Thailand Are Much Lower Than They Were Before The Asian Currency Crisis, They Are Still Higher Than In Japan
