This is the sound of hustle and bustle and a variety of voices belonging to people of all gender and ages all going on simultaneously; customers bargaining prices and vendors hawking their goods. It makes one imagine the odour and atmosphere at a typical marketplace where these diverse activities have been a common scene for hundreds of years. Items on sale reveal the identity of their origin. For instance, at a fresh market in Songkhla, one could buy young green leaves of the cashew nut tree, jik and mui leaves that can be found all-year round mainly due to the wet and humid climate. Southern folks take advantage of the abundance of vegetables that they usually eat with spicy dishes. It can be said that in every Thai community there is definitely a fresh market.
