After eating our Brunch we decide to walk thru the Tha Jin Market. Tha Jin means Chinese Port. It is a food market. Did Imention Thais are focused around food?
There is always someone smiling at you - which makes for a great day.
Monks in Thailand beg for their food. They eat one meal a day which should be completed before 11 AM.
The lady on the right was talking to a friend and was quite animated. When she saw me point my camera, she struck a pose.
The fruit you see on the last picture is called Durian. It is popular in S.E. Asia. It grows on trees. To cultivate the farmers suspend nets on polls around the tree trunk. When ripe the fruit falls. It can be deadly if one is hit by a falling Durian. Also deadly is the smell of the fruit. It has the consistancy of stiff pudding and smells to some like rotten onions, to others like rotting flesh. But it is supposed to taste delicious. I've 
eaten it fried as chips and it was quite good. Reminded me a little of banana. Sometimes on buses you'll see a picture of the fruit with a NO sign (red circle with line). Same for some hotels. The smell is that bad. It can be purchased a almost any Asian market in the US - including KC.
