morning market on soi 40

8:15 AM

As I turn right (crossing traffic- the equivalent of a left turn in the US) into soi 40, the morning market is at it's peak. Fruit, drinks, grilled fish and sausages, packaged lunches, and sugary rolls are all laid out in the portable stands. The market will have disappeared in an hour. The vendors take up any sidewalk space. Pedestrians, bikes, motorcycles, cars and any other vehicle/wheeled storage share the street.
