Thailand street vendors

Thailand street vendors sell everything

Thailand street vendors sell everything, they are really just mobile shops offering a huge variety of goods for sale. Many are constantly changing location as they don’t have the required licence to operate their business.

Soft drinks & fresh fruit

As you can see many are motorised while others push their heavy loads. They all however have one thing in common, a “work ethic” as there is no social security to help out in Thailand.

Generally is costs between 20 & 40 Baht or 50 cents to $1 usd for a meal.

Fruit smoothie

A healthy fresh fruit smoothie for only 75 cents.

A piece of fried chicken for 50 cents.

Tastes every bit as good as KFC but cheaper. 🙂

My favourite

Banana pancake is my favourite street food.

Outside my condo

Four or five mobile vendors plying their trade each night outside my condo. They pack up and leave very quickly if the police arrive.

While I’m on the subject of Chinatown I remember seeing this a few years ago. Two huge fish just had their heads cut off yet they were still gasping for air.

Wal-Mart on wheels

The broom guy is one of my favourites. 🙂

Carnation milk

They certainly know how to dress up their mobile shops.
