Bicycle Stand by Ryszard Wierzbicki

I took this photo while visiting the Amphawa Floating Market, one of the most popular floating markets in Bangkok area. The canal-side way of life in Amphawa takes place along the waterfront walkways of Amphawa Canal, a small tributary of the Mae Khlong River. Every weekend Thais flock to the Amphawa Floating Market, as big queues emerge along the canal’s bridges and walkways. While commercially developed, the old wooden houses and shopfronts retain some of their original charm. Many kind of businesses are in operation there, among them this Bicycle Stands with local sweets and snacks.
