Lan Pho Na Kluea Fish Market – Portraits of Pattaya's Seafood Trade, Thailand

Before dawn breaks over Pattaya, the Lan Pho fish market in Na Kluea is already alive with motion. Boats return from the Gulf of Thailand loaded with the night's catch, and within minutes the auction floor fills with vendors, buyers, and porters moving crates of squid, prawns, and reef fish across wet concrete. This series documents the people who keep Pattaya's seafood trade running — the women sorting fish by hand, the traders calling out prices, the workers hauling ice and baskets under the first light of morning. It's a side of Pattaya far removed from the beach road, rooted instead in the daily rhythm of a working Thai fishing community. Shot on location at the Na Kluea fish market in Pattaya, Chonburi province, this collection captures authentic street photography and documentary images of Thailand's seafood industry, local fishermen, and market life along the Gulf of Thailand coast. Ideal for editorial use, travel publications, and stories on Southeast Asian fishing culture, Thai street markets, and coastal livelihoods.
