Bangkok - Beauty Aid

Streetside Adjustments
Bangkok is a crowded, bustling city - Chinatown even more so. There is almost no sidewalk space, it can take an hour to walk a block. All manner of business was being conducted on the sidewalk, even threading. Have you seen this before? It's an elaborate use of threads to remove facial hair.

It's a baffling skill. How the threaders manage to squeeze a single hair between two threads and yank it out is beyond my comprehension. They worked away on eyebrows and dare I say, a few mustaches when necessary. They must be good - there was a long line of ladies waiting.
