| | Street Food in Thailand |
 | | It is difficult to separate the taste and character of street food from the context in which it is made and sold: the people, their imaginative personal touches, the on-the-spot cooking demonstrations, the elaborate displays and set-ups, the often festive environment, and the enveloping sounds, colors and aromas. |
 | | The sharp cry of a hefty woman announces her presence as she huffs and puffs down the street, carrying woven baskets neatly arranged with goodies, and the aroma of chicken, pork and satays barbecuing on charcoal stoves under bright, colorful tarps wafts pleasantly in the air. |
 | | Street cooking today is threatened by a move in recent years to ban sidewalk vendors from selected areas around Bangkok. |
