Khlong Toey Market in Bangkok

26 SEPTEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Khlong Toey runs along Khlong Toey Market in Bangkok. Khlong is the Thai word for canal. This canal used to go all the way to the old imperial center of Bangkok but has been filled in now. This stretch of the canal is used for waste water from the market. Khlong Toey (also called Khlong Toei) Market is one of the largest "wet markets" in Thailand. The market is located in the midst of one of Bangkok's largest slum areas and close to the city's original deep water port. Thousands of people live in the neighboring slum area. Thousands more shop in the sprawling market for fresh fruits and vegetables as well meat, fish and poultry. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
