Resting shop keeper in Bangkok Chinese market. Maybe he has saved the pig head for his own delicacy.

Here is another tired street shop keeper - and a lot of heads on her table as well. This one is from Hua Hin, Thailand.

Thanks for comments. I agree with you, these have very little (if nothing) to do with real extreme markets (extreme according to the standards most of us might think). Vast portion of the people in the world are doing their daily shopping in places like these.

Do you mean graphical because of the pig head in the first one? because its took me a minute to realize what it was, and it doesnt bother me the least. I really like the second shot. Great work Olli!!
