18 SEPTEMBER 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: People eat at Lek and Rut Seafood stand in the Chinatown section of Bangkok. Lek and Rut Seafood was one of the first street stall restaurants in Bangkok and is more of a pop up restaurant than a street food stall. It has sit down service and full menus, but seating is on the street and sidewalk and food is prepared in portable cookers that are brought out to the street when the restaurant opens. 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.
