The food markets are provided for street food vendors in designated and regulated areas at Lotus shopping center in Pathumwan district, Lumpini Park parking lot, in front of Koong Luang restaurant in Pinklao district, and near Somdet Chaophraya Hospital in Bangkok Noi district. The campaign is aimed to help street food vendors currently affected by restrictions along the Bangkok streets. 

Participating vendors are not entitled to any lease, but can only open their stall according to the time limit at each location, and must ensure the food of its quality and safety. The BMA aimed to open 10 more locations by the end of this month.
