Daily Life In East Bangkok, Thailand

Durians are for sale on a table inside a wet market in a residential neighborhood. Daily life proceeds on a hot and slow summer day in East Bangkok, Thailand, on May 9, 2025. International tourist arrivals into Thailand sharply decline from the Northeast Asian market between January and April 2025, with an overall decrease of 20%, particularly a 30% drop in Chinese tourists. The Thai government attempts to curb the tourism downturn with a domestic tourism subsidy for Thais to stimulate the local economy. (Photo by Matt Hunt/NurPhoto)
