Markets
Life for most people in Thailand still revolves around the local market. And a large majority still follows a traditional way of life with visits to the market in the early morning and at dusk. For them the market is a social opportunity, a place to eat or pick up dinner, find a bargain and, of course, sell their own backyard produce.
