Street food used to be considered unhygienic by many people who thought it might give you diarrhea. Hawker stalls clutter footpaths blocking people’s traffic, polluting the streets, and ruining the city scenery.

That image is one of the past! Today, street food in Thailand is fast gaining international popularity. It is one of the soft powers that generates billions of baht market value per year. It attracts both Thai and foreign tourists to experience excellent and diverse food so much so that Bangkok is called “The City of Street Food” or “The Street Food Capital”.

Bangkok has many street food districts.  One that is trending and popular among the younger generation is Chula-Bantadthong-Samyan.
