A young Thai woman with an angelic face, known for her merchant lifestyle at the Sri Mueang market in Ratchaburi province, has recently sparked a huge following on social media. The woman has amassed over 200,000 followers.

 

Known as ‘Nong Bam’, she won over the online crowd with her simplicity, charm and unconventional job of selling galangal, a type of root similar to ginger. She has no intention of switching her profession, despite many questioning her choice of trade.

 

Janejira Wangkukiat, affectionately known as ‘Nong Bam’, runs her small business in Sri Mueang market, where she sells galangal and ginger. Having been actively engaged in the trader lifestyle for approximately five years, the 22 year old woman hails from Huai Khwang sub-district of Kamphaeng Saen district, Nakhon Pathom province.

 

Despite the struggle during the initial years, her persistence was well-rewarded with steady patronage due to her effervescent personality and excellent communication skills.


“Nong Bam is beautiful, slender, and has sweet twinkling eyes. Most men would lose their heart to her”, say market-goers, describing her irresistible charm.
