Amidst the concrete and pavement of a typical Southeast Asian city, this fruit vendor delivered a nice touch of color.
Concrete jungle in the jungle
Like most cities, Chiang Mai has too much concrete, and too much pavement. So, whenever I pass through this drab parking lot of an old, nondescript condo in my neighborhood, I’m always grateful for the lines of tropical greenery bordering that little concrete jungle.
On this day, that lush greenery was highlighted by this truckload of very colorful fruit.
Delectable display
This vendor’s dragonfruit, bananas, and mangoes are much cheaper than the same fruits at the local supermarket. So, just by parking his fruit stall here, everyone benefits.
The vendor has a very profitable day – Woohoo! The local consumers such as myself get a great deal on the fresh and healthy fruit – Mmmmm! And for most of the day, the entire neighborhood can enjoy the delectable display – Nice!
