Mom and Pop shop’s around Thailand epitomise the Thai entrepreneurial desire. These small shops are found everywhere from the centre of Bangkok to the smallest of Thai villages. They are often at the centre of Thai village life and besides providing goods and services also make excellent places to catch up on gossip.
The shops are often just the front portion of a family home and offer all manner of goods including such things as sweets, foodstuffs, bottled water and even small bottles of gasoline for the local populations thirsty motorbikes.
Mom and Pop shop owners in small villages like where I live in Thailand barely make a living which is not helped by the amount of such shops that you will find, all selling similar things. On Nong Hin main street there are eight other shops like the one in the photograph and the village population is about 500 people.
