That's a real shame - I basically only ate street food in Vietnam, the one time we ventured into fancy-ish looking restaurant we were pretty underwhelmed

- sitkack 10y agoThe only time I got sick in Vietnam was at a fancy restaurant. Street food can't and doesn't sit around.
- apexalpha 10y agoYou can imagine that street food doesn't earn both the vendor and the state a lot of money. Every country wants to climb the socio-economic ladder. And part of that is moving to higher end service industry with larger profit margins. Removing semi-illegal street food trucks that operate without abiding by food safety laws, pay taxes (?) or invest in the local community by buying a building, hiring a staff etc... Without this, decent restaurants don't stand a chance. And in the long run, that is bad for the people living in bangkok.
