I am sitting outside the bar in Soi 6 with nothing better to do so I shall contribute a totally useless article I call Peddlers of Soi 6.
As for the peddlers..they sell items which are useful to ladies and customers alike but many sell totally insignificant stuff.
I am in no way belittling them ok..just observations..
The Flower Seller..this lady totes Roses for 20 baht a stalk. Many times she carries a small baby with her to gain more sympathy. And they do sell a lot of Roses too. Not my favourite as they can be overly pushy.Worst thing is they not even Thai..probably from Laos or Viets.
The underwear seller..very popular with the bar girls..they seem to buy a new bra or undies every other day..or so it seems.
The T Shirt seller..ladies singlets are the single biggest seller.Cheap too from 20 baht a piece to more expensive ones. Can order in bulk and its priced reasonably.
The knick knack seller..she sells simple make up items..and accessories..useful when you need a nail cutter or mirror.
The DVD seller..sells fake DVDs for 100 baht a piece..always get their phone number..cos if the DVD is faulty can call him for a free exchange.
The Fake Watch seller..I have a regular..customers who wants to buy one I will call him. Reliable and reasonably priced. Between 700 to 1000 baht for a decent quality.
The Sunglasses Seller..very popular with farangs due to high cost back home. Cant go wrong with 100 baht shades.
The Fake Viagra Seller..avoid..avoid..they sell the fakes of the generic. Health hazard. Buy always from pharmacies.
The Outright Beggar..dont sell anything..normally show some form of physical deformity to gain pity. Common everywhere I guess.
The Book Seller..she sells dictionaries..and Thai love comics. My favourite is title..' The quick Guide to Get Rich for Bar girls ! '. I have a copy too.
The Lottery Seller..very very common..dont misunderstand why you jave stacks of same number.It means that if you buy 1 ticket you win 2/3 million..if you buy 2 tickets same number means you win double..that is if you win.
The Make Up Lady..starts her rounds in early afternoon...some do make up some do nails. Nail painting that is.
The Earrings Seller..also does piercings for 40 baht..ears..eyelids..belly buttons..all done right in front of the bars.
The Perfume Seller..cheap quality perfume from 80 baht to 100 baht a bottle.
The Trinket Seller..sells Buddhist good luck stuff.
The Souvenir Sellers..normally hails from the Northern tribes nearer to Chiangmai selling embroideries. Quite nice actually. I have one of those funny hats.
Maybe next I talk about the Food Carts..
