They are your friendly basket-sellers. I took this photo while we were driving to Kep one weekend. They are a common sight in the countryside but don’t be surprised to see them in the city, too. Ambulant sellers like them are still plying their trade in this manner despite the emergence of new markets and air-conditioned malls.

It’s a lot of hard work but it’s a job to do and earns them money for their families.

These baskets made from indigenous materials found in their villages are most likely made by the village women and sold to other places.
