24 JULY 2018 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Asian tourists buy grilled sweet corn from a vender on Khao San Road in Bangkok. Khao San Road is Bangkok's original backpacker district and is still a popular hub for travelers, with an active night market and many street food stalls. The Bangkok municipal government plans to shut down the street market by early August because city officials say the venders, who set up on sidewalks and public streets, pose a threat to public safety and could impede emergency vehicles. It's the latest in a series of night markets and street markets the city has closed. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
