strocube Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Have you guys seen this shit? It seems BKK is all set to ban street-food vendors. So wrong for so many reasons. The bastards. https://www.rt.com/news/385158-bangkok-street-food-ban/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoolpusher Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 All the hotels must have got together to try and stamp out the yummy foodies, I like the food stalls around bkk they have always been a fav of mine . A great meal for under 100 baht or a hotel meal for 300 + . and then you see the falangs in all the fast food joints witch I cant understand , you can buy that shit any time at home.

SiamSam Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 My bet is it will never happen. Street stalls are an institution in Thailand and are the only affordable option for many of the locals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Probably due to food poisoning...if you eat enough times you will succumb to this...the hygiene is pretty bad lets face it even some of the al fresco eateries with roofs like Bus Stop on Soi 4 are fly traps and are probably worse than the stools ouside. To be honest i try to eat inside now as less risk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globetrotter Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 when in Bkk I eat street food exclusively, other than McDonald's I can't even think of the last restaurant I went to there,, but then again I spend very little time in Bkk these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMAC Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I never ate street food till I moved to Hua Hin. In my three months there I ate at the same places and the ladies all knew for me "no spicy". I dropped 12 pounds in 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSumGai Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 same. My go to spot for 10 yrs, Soi 38 was erradicated by condo development. I hear Soi 95 food area got removed too, need to check that when I get back. I LIKE eating from a folding table, sitting in a plastic chair while cars whiz by only feet from me :) It's a great way to take in the whole atmosphere of Bangkok. Which it seems they are set on doing away with as street sellers have mostly disappeared with only some redundant ones selling bullshit like fantasy knives. Apparently they want you IN STORES, hotels, restaurants, etc. Course those folks DO pay taxes but still, it'll reduce Bkk to "just another too big city" status. I don't spend much time there when I go to LOS nowadays. Very sad as the old vibe is what KEPT a lot of folks IN Bkk, and not heading right for the bus station, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Jay Fai is the only Bangkok street food outlet with a Michelin star. It ain't cheap though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temporarily closed for a deep clean as a patron who visited the restaurant on April 1st tested positive for Covid-19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
