A Tha Phra Chan Legend ตำนานท่าพระจันทร์ เบอร์นาร์ด คนขายถั่วมาอย่างยาวนาน ในมหาวิทยาลัยธรรมศาสตร์ ท่าพระจันทร์ ที่กลายเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของสังคมชาว มธ. Bernard, the longtime nut seller at Thammasat University’s Tha Phra Chan campus, has become part of the university community. An Indian immigrant to Thailand, Bernard began selling nuts around campus in 1968, aged 23, walking with his stall table balanced on his head. He has witnessed many chapters of university life, from cheering events and concerts to political rallies. Whenever something was happening, Uncle Bernard would set up his nut stall nearby. He once recalled selling near the protest site right up until October 5, 1976. On October 6, he could not enter the campus because the crackdown had begun early that morning. Now 81, Uncle Bernard has been selling nuts for 58 years. On October 29, just two days ago, he received a new wheeled nut stall to replace his damaged one (pictured below). Several months earlier, he had also been given a softly cushioned chair so he could sit and rest. Source: Nawin Sakulyuenyong web.facebook.com/share/p/1A3… – at Thanon Nakhon Chai Si, Thailand
