Download - Street Vendors
In Thailand, there is an accessible amount of food that you can easily find along the streets. It is the charm of Thailand to have quick easy bites for anyone who is hungry at anytime without
the hassle of having to cook your own food. However, the life of the street vendors is not as easy as what they serve on their
cart.
Even at night, the street of Thailand still has
food available for any hungry customer.
While we all munch down on our snacks, the
street vendors are still hard at work even
when the street lights go off.
The foods available
on the streets are
very affordable the
price is not usually
higher than 50 THB.
Just having 100 THB
you can be full all
day with the
different quick food
such as hot dogs,
sausages, or even
grilled squid. These
food on a stick is
about 10-20 THB.
A lot of the dish sold on the streets is traditional
Thai food, like som tum (papaya salad), that has
been around forever and it is the uniqueness of
Thailand to still withhold this sort of business
among the street that influence more Thai culture
more many people who visit Thailand.
Some street vendors go to extreme with even their attire to attract more
customers to buy what they have to sell in trading for their food on their table at
the end of the day.
Even food for you health is available on
the streets, like soy bean drinks. There
are many different types of food and
drink to satisfy different customers.
Some vendors are even famous for
their delicious recopies. Sometimes you
don’t need a big fancy restaurant to be
famous, because in the end it’s all up to
the taste.
However, the more customers the vendor gets
the less tiring they would feel because
customers are the key to their business and the
food on their table.
Each day these street vendors continue to live their
lives among the streets by doing what they do best
is making delicious food and selling it at a cheap
price. However, their lives will always be living in
wonder on whether how much they will sell each
day, because some days they might not even have
food to eat themselves if people stop buying. Also it
is a risky job since they always have to be on the
lookout for police.
