Thai's site research: Chok-Chai 4 Market

Chok Chai 4 Market, one of the most well-know market in Ladphrao Road, was situated in the form of small community within the lager community area. The area consisted of various group of people--including local people (as owner of shophouse and common workers), non-local (people from different provience), and passerby--which 'interacted' with each othe in a very 'intimate' mean such as the sharing space, goods, and even customers between the street vendors and shophouses.

In a way, by the intimate character of the community, which allow them to share space with other localers, it also force many customers and passer by to personal space  to overlap  with other customers and force them to interact and sharing thing such as seating and kitchen wears with each other in an unwilling fashion.
