Bangkok Street Food: Day and Night
Audrey and Daniel of Uncornered Market produced this short video showing food vendors in Bangkok. It’s interesting to see that the street food vendors use small, rolling carts that are outfitted with gas burners and anything else you might need to cook a meal. They simply find a spot, set up their apparatus and go to work. Often they have small plastic stools and folding tables as well. Prices are cheap, even for Thailand standards, and the food is all made to order.
Some guide books warn of poor sanitary conditions at these roadside stalls but I have never heard of others getting sick, although some of the food handling practices look sketchy and likely would not pass most states’ standards here in the US. On the other hand, those are some pretty high temperature they use to cook the food, so any beasties are pretty well guaranteed to be cooked away. Delicious stuff. Bon Appetit!
