Last time I interviewed the man street vendor who is sitting on the green chair beside her. He is the one who are also facing with drought almost two years. What I am doing is to study what is behind the street vendor in Thailand. The result of what I am studying not about to collect information to do statistic but I want to communicate what really happen behind them. In fact, on this day I want to interview the street vendor who sells Esarn meat ball but she disappear. The nature of Street vendor is temporality; they move all the time. The one who I interviewed on this day someday she sell the food in front of BKK code and someday she sell the food in front of Saint Louise hospital and the man street vendor in the picture everyday he start selling the food from Hua Lam Pong (trainstation) to Sathorn and back to Hua lam Pong agian.
