This lady is often tucked away somewhere behind the goods of her family's street-side shop. She never looks comfortable but it's clearly her own choice as there are places available to sit other than the pavement and plenty of things to sit on other than her own flip-flops. On this day she was preparing shrimps down there.

I am not 100% sure about this but I think when she came back to collect her bicycle she found out that a bird had left something on her handlebar-grip.

"Not in the Saddle" Photo
I think this man is the owner of the samlor (three-wheeled bicycle taxi) but he might not be, however, the perspective coincided perfectly for him to be sitting on the saddle without actually touching it!

"The Iceman Ducketh" Photo
Every day this silver-haired man carts ice around Petchaburi market to numerous vendors to help keep their produce fresh. Many obstacles lie in his route including pot-holes, curb-stones, shoppers, dogs and this annoying sun-shading cloth.
