The Street Food of Thailand
30 images Created 4 Oct 2012
Thailand is well known for its "street food," prepared food bought, and sometimes consumed, at small stands on the street.
They're common throughout the country, but Bangkok, in particular, is awash in street food stands. The International Labor Organization says that some 500,000 people work in the street food sector in Bangkok alone (with a citywide population of 12 - 14 million, that's 3 - 4% of the population of Bangkok, which seems like a lot).
Thai street food is tasty, fresh and stunningly inexpensive. Most meals are less than $2 (US) not including drinks or extras.
I will be adding pictures to this gallery when I make photos that fit the theme.
