(Baonghean.vn) - The highland terrain is divided by hills and mountains, the roads are dangerous, and the population is sparse, so establishing and building a market is difficult. Because there is no market to meet, the villagers have set up small sales points with a few sellers. The main goods are agricultural products that the villagers grow, hunt, and gather themselves. Among them are quite unique products such as frogs and grasshoppers.

 |
| Goods sold at the market are agricultural products grown by the people themselves. |
 |
| Grilled wild rats caught by people in the fields are a typical product at roadside stalls. |
 |
| Mac khen or wild pepper - an indispensable spice in traditional Thai dishes. |
 |
| The vendors are neighbors, and when there are no customers, they chat happily. |
 |
| Frogs, toads, and loaches caught in streams are considered specialties at village markets. |
 |
| Grasshoppers and locusts are sold seasonally. |
 |
| Bamboo shoots are packaged into bags for customer convenience. |
 |
| The only prepared dish is 'moọc' of the Thai people. |
 |
| Although they are just small selling points, the "village markets" have created cultural highlights in the middle of the mountains and forests. In the photo: The Thai ethnic group's handmade sticky rice is brought to sell by the people at the market on the outskirts of the village. |
