Open Air Market in Thailand

The day after my arrival to Thailand a group of us ventured out to the 30+ acre open air market. I think we might have covered 3 acres during the four hour shopping experience. My first interaction was with a blind man, covered with tattoos, he used a loud speaker to draw people to his table of goods. I briefly talked to him and helped him get a knot out of the strings to the patch that he wears over his left eye. It was quite surprising to see how kind he was in comparison to his harsh outer appearance.


I was impressed by the variety of transportation used in Thailand. All over the place you would see mopeds, people on bicycles, three wheel taxi's, and these little bus looking cars. They moved around quite efficiently amidst the market crowd.
