  • 11 SEPTEMBER 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Grilled prawns ready to be served 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.

  • 24 MARCH 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Street food carts on Sukhumvit Soi 63 (Ekkamai). These carts are being evicted from the area. Food cart vendors along Sukhumvit Road between Sois 55 (Thong Lo) and 69 (Phra Khanong) in Bangkok have been told by city officials that they have to leave the area by 17 April. It's a part of an effort by Bangkok city government, supported by the ruling junta, to take back the city's sidewalks. The evictions in the area are the latest in mass evictions of Bangkok street food vendors after similar actions elsewhere on Sukhumvit, in the Ari area, in Silom/Patpong and Ratchaprasong neighborhoods. The vendors in Thong Lo/Phra Khanong are popular with local office workers because most of the formal restaurants in the area serve foreign tourists and upper class Thais and are very expensive. The street food carts serve meals starting at about 35Baht ($1US). The city has not announced if they will provide alternative locations for the carts.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 24 MARCH 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: People walk past street food carts on Sukhumvit Soi 63 (Ekkamai) in the neighborhood carts are being evicted from. Food cart vendors along Sukhumvit Road between Sois 55 (Thong Lo) and 69 (Phra Khanong) in Bangkok have been told by city officials that they have to leave the area by 17 April. It's a part of an effort by Bangkok city government, supported by the ruling junta, to take back the city's sidewalks. The evictions in the area are the latest in mass evictions of Bangkok street food vendors after similar actions elsewhere on Sukhumvit, in the Ari area, in Silom/Patpong and Ratchaprasong neighborhoods. The vendors in Thong Lo/Phra Khanong are popular with local office workers because most of the formal restaurants in the area serve foreign tourists and upper class Thais and are very expensive.

But in other parts of the city, the vendors have been moved off of major streets and sidewalks.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
