Pre focus shoot from the hip etc
Set your focal length to what you want, one, two metres away as you walk and people come into that range you shoot, Its kinda hit and miss at first though with practice you will be shooting awesome images.

Second Tip would be to get up close, I have been out with many photographers who feel shy I guess, I like to be more aggressive and get up there in close and personel^^
I was up shooting on Soi Cowboy last week 4 guys took a dislike to me photographing them and all surrounded me, demanded I delete the images, though I just tell them to get the <deleted> away from me.
I never delete a shot or give in to being bullied etc

My first Tip, here we go
The fishing method, though it has nothing to do with fishing, lol
basically I look for a place with good composition, be it good light, nice lines etc, negative space, or what ever composition we can get from where we are.
I will work that space and find out the limits of where I wanna be to make the shot.
I will pre focus my camera on the distance I wanna shoot.
Then its just a case of waiting for something to happen within the area worth shooting, a rule people will avoid walking towards you so you need to mask the fact that you are going to be shooting them, I guess thats the trick.
Sometimes it works very well other times not so much^^

18-55 mm will pretty much cover your needs mate, what do you normally shoot?
I will say many of the well know camera shops in BKK will allow you to trade body or Glass, AV Camera, Fotofile etc
I pretty much shoot everything but are an expert of none.
Street photos/portraits/landscapes/animals/motor sport/night photographing, you name it, I am trying but with mixed luck
I find my Stylus1 just too short sometimes when using it for motor sport (Buriram superbike this year) and birds sitting high up in the trees but that is a small niche of my photographing not done often so spending huge amounts of $ for a 3/4 lens in that range (300mm equivalent) will be overkill so are not sure what to do with that.
I got some pretty good street shoots in Bangkok last year with my RX100 m3 that pretty much always sits in my belt-bag when going out, I am very happy with this little camera.
I am also a bit concerned about the Fuji's XT10 "only" 16MP, there is a huge discussion going on in dpreveiw how much MP you need when looking at your photos on a 40" 4k pc monitor. Also rumors of Fuji soon launching a 24MP camera, hmm.
16MP is fine mate, I do a lot of street photography with a Fujifilm X100s which is a 16MP camera^^

Composition with flash, many street photographer I know will not wanna be using flash, Its a great tool to use to focus the viewers eye on the subject, etc
Best way I find is to get it off the camera
