This guy sells boiled or baked eggs on the beach. He’s got a bamboo frame that has suspended two baskets – it’s his mobile shop. You often see these mobile sellers in Thailand, selling all kinds of things, generally a bit of food, or sunglasses or for the ladies, magpie blingy stuff, hairbands etc
I don’t reckon he’s making huge money, but I guess it must be a modest living, and he is working rather than begging or worse 🙂
I’m not an egg lover, but my girlfriend likes them.

Sounds yummy but I would be a bit suspect about purchasing from a street vendor.
The thai’s are used to it, I reckon my mrs knows where to shop and where not … how’s the catching up going, you seem to be doing admirably – I’m not able to do much more than answer my own comments at the moment …
Still about a week and 600 posts behind
Seriously Suz, I don’t know how you do it … or don’t at the moment !
Even further behind now…. lol
Begins with F and rhymes with duck …
😛
I wish him all the best in this eggcellent business venture.
LOL, that’s corny, but still got a little laugh out of me dude !
in Indonesia, we call it ‘penjual kerak telur’
when you came to Jakarta, try it. It’s so delicious.
Thanks, so it’s an asian thing … I’m not keen on eggs so probably won’t but happy to accept that others would like it 🙂
Boiled eggs at the beach? Aww well each to his own I guess. Hope the person eating it leaves all the gassy smells from his farts right there too. But Support the honest living. Where I live we have beggars and street kids that almost physically assaults you for the change you might have in your purse. When you ask them why they are not working the either spit at you or shout profanities at you. Go EGG man!!
It’s cheap food I guess, eggs aren’t expensive … and yes at least he’s doing something to make a living and keep himself occupied, rather than begging or stealing …
very cool 🙂 I like the way you see my country
You are welcome, I try to look with positive perspective, and I know not all western people do 🙂
Cool, awesome share! thanks.
You are welcome hun 🙂
I keep thinking about what they would do to this guy in the states. Probably throw him in jail. I love it that you see things like this and share them with us. I’d love to try food like that sometime.
In UK you’ve got to have a license to sell stuff on the streets, so probably jail in UK too … i don’t imagine the government/police could be bothered with a small seller like this here … well when you’ve saved up and you’ve bought your plane ticket you can !
lol
😆
Just like in the Philippines! Not just regular hard boiled eggs but “balut” too! 😀
I reckon it’s fairly similar in Philipenes to Thailand, when I get a bit of money I’ll come visit … but not eating balut or eggs !
Definitely no balut for you Sir. Maybe some “lechon baboy”. 🙂
I’m semi-vegetarian, so probably not … maybe some prawns or fish, or lobster !
My dad used to tell me about a guy he knew in Little Italy. He started out with a bag of lemons, and within a year had a grocery store.
Now you know some Beatlemaniac was going to see this post and say…”I am egg man, they are the egg men, I am the walrus…” 🙂
From small acorns oaks are grown … and LOL, yup we’ll await the beatle fans …
We have them as well in the Philippines. As a child, I hated hard boiled eggs. The smell was too much and the taste, chalky and dry…. Now, I can eat them but I need anchovy sauce, tomatoes and green onions plus rice to go with it. But these men/women would sell them by the buses, parks, school yards. Anywhere people congregate. Ah, I miss them. They sold balut also.
LOL, I’m with you on the eggs, I only really eat in cakes, pancakes or mayo … I checked out balut, very contrasting to western food, I often find that in Asia, the man that sells grasshoppers and scorpions deep fried for instance !
Funny thing about the balut, I can only suck out the juice, eat the yellow (if any) and munch on the white. The chick was always eaten by my brothers. Unless it was really underdeveloped. 🙂 no scorpions or grasshoppers for me. But definitely roasted, salted crickets and ant eggs… 🙂
LOL, all of those off the menu for me … I prefer Pizza ! cheers Don Charisma
There are many ways to survive, I see it here in Spain too. Great photo Don.
They usually seem to be lovely people, who’ve decided to work for a living and are happy for what they get …
So–do you buy a few eggs for her Don? You’re a nice guy, I’ll bet you do.
Yup, I bought her a few eggs …
Breaks my heart to see these guys day in and out making a living, or so I think, selling from their baskets. I personally tend to patronize their venture instead of the supermarket. Well that is unless they try and sell to us at what we call the, “white price”.
Have a great day!
For sure, I usually let my girlfriend do the negotiations, that way we generally get the thai price … have a good day too …
That’s so interesting!! I’ve never heard of anything like it
🙂
One of the best experiences you can have in an Asian country is the food… And, granted, it may be some of the worst experiences, but the worst is worth risking for the best 😀
For sure, I do love thai food, but yes if you’re not careful you can get bad tummy !
Fascinating seeing all the different ways that people choose to spend their lives. Thanks for sharing this!
For sure, something different for a sunday afternoon !
