02 OCTOBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A street food vendor on Soi 22 in central Bangkok, Thailand. Thailand in general, and Bangkok in particular, has a vibrant tradition of street food and "eating on the run." In recent years, Bangkok's street food has become something of an international landmark and is being written about in glossy travel magazines and in the pages of the New York Times.
