I photographed these two workers on the bank of the Mekong river in Northern Thailand. They had just come across from the Laos side with some goods and were unloading them into a truck from one of the small boats behind them. It was amazing what they could carry across a big river in a tiny boat, cases and cased of food goods, refrigerators, large tables and chairs. Most of the larger items seemed to be going from the Thai side to the Laos side where they could sell used stuff at a premium price. Most new goods like motorcycles, appliances face big duties in Laos.
