LongTang Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I understand the drone thing, But why hurt the poor street vendors??!! Are only the rich allowed to make a profit out of this period? Without the street vendors it will be just another boring city.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the street vendors it will be just another boring city..What profit are the "rich" making? Street vendors are squatting on footpaths, no tax, feed the rat population by dumping oil and scraps and have zero hygiene checks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the difference between a boring city and an exciting one is street vendors? It's a shame they can't get rid of them all year around. The community will be healthier for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they bring carts and such with them they can be quite a hazard in the crowds. A few years ago it was so bad people were nearly falling off the pier, getting home was easy, you just lifted your feet off the ground and off you went!

How about all the tourists that fill the shopping malls, restaurants and fastfood chains. I'm sure their owners are making a very nice income. Other that that your description is appalling and is as far from reality as could be. For all the many years i have been in Thailand i never had any problems from street food. The food that is being eaten in villages a cross Thailand is clean fresh and healthy. And this cooking culture is the one used by these street vendors.

Whether you like them or not it seems most people do think they are an attraction.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is Markland at Soi 1, the chicken vendors had their pitch long before the Aussie franchised and overpriced Coffee Club rocked up. Guess which is the busiest and will still be there in a year from now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
