Chiang Mai:Pork skewers priced at 10 baht each are selling rapidly at the Chiang Mai End of Rainy Season, Beginning of Cool Season Festival. Customers are lining up to purchase the sun-dried pork skewers, creating a challenge for vendors to fry them quickly enough to meet demand.

According to Thai News Agency, the festival, held behind the Chiang Mai Provincial Administrative Organization building, has become a popular spot for both teenage and working-age customers. The sun-dried pork skewers, strung together with bamboo strips, are attracting long queues of customers, resulting in daily sales of approximately 1,000 skewers.

The shop owner, Mr. Nonthawat, noted that the affordable price of 10 baht per skewer is a major draw for customers. Many opt to purchase two skewers along with a bag of warm sticky rice, making a complete meal for 30 baht. Mr. Nonthawat typically sells at night markets in Chiang Mai and Lamphun but has rented a stall at the festival for 500 baht per day due to high customer turnout.

In addition to the pork skewers, the festival features a variety of goods, including food, clothing, and household items, contributing to the stimulation of Chiang Mai's economy. The event is scheduled to run until November 17th.
