04 JANUARY 2016 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A poor woman who lives in the Bang Chak neighborhood picks weeds for stir frying. Bang Chak Market is in the background. It was the market's last day of business. The market closed January 4, 2016. The Bang Chak Market serves the community around Sois 91-97 on Sukhumvit Road in the Bangkok suburbs. About half of the market has been torn down. Bangkok city authorities put up notices in late November that the market would be closed by January 1, 2016 and redevelopment would start shortly after that. Market vendors said condominiums are being built on the land. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
