Streetside Scenes
OK, this first one is not on the side of the street; it is on a crosswalk ABOVE the street. This guy is making insects and fish and whoknowswhatelse out of--palm leaves?? He said it is a leaf very similar to the leaf on a coconut tree, at any rate. 10 baht per beast. So, sucker that I am, bought one since he allowed me to take his picture.:)
Walking further on to find a songtaew, I asked this woman's permission to photograph her flower stand. These are very beautiful; it is sad that people buy these to bring good luck, keep them safe, etc. But still they are beautiful.
The dear woman told me I needed to show this picture to my farang men friends; she wants a farang husband. I told her all of my older brothers are already married, and she laughed heartily. After chit-chatting a bit longer, she insisted on giving me one of her flower creations. It was very fragrant as well as beautiful.
