PHUKET: More than 1,200 food vendors and restaurateurs from across Phuket have joined a series of seminars held to educate them on the importance of food hygiene and the important role they play in Phuket’s status as a Unesco Creative City of Gastronomy.

 

Of the three such seminars, one was held at the Phuket Merlin Hotel i Phuket Town yesterday (May 23), organised by the Prince of Songkla University Phuket campus and opened by Phuket Provincial Health Office (PPHO) Chief Dr Jirapan Teapan.

 

Pan Tongcheumneung, Dean of the PSU Phuket campus Faculty of Technology and Environment, explained simply, “Making sure you store and prepare food clean and safely is very important. It reduces the risk of illness from food or unhygienic practices, and it also increases your business’s competitiveness.”

I eat street food here in Thailand.  The results? 
Over a period of 11 years I've had food poisoning twice here in Thailand.  Both times after eating at international fast-food hamburger franchises. 

After eating at street vendors and small street restaurants?  I've never been sick. 

So - perhaps that educational seminar needs to be focused elsewhere.

Hygiene? How will they wash the dishes or clean out the pots and pans if not on the street? Most food markets rental space does not offer such luxuries.
