Markets along with food stalls are a very common sight in the entire country of Thailand. This image was taken on the island Koh Lanta, which has a very diverse cultural mix. Thai-Muslim, Thai-Chinese and Sea Gypsies all living together, this can make food shopping very interesting. You can never be short of a bite to eat, when the early markets are finished, there is always the option to go find the evening market.
