"Street life" Top 5 Page for this destination Thailand Local Custom Tip by vtveen

I think we have never seen so much activity on and along the roads as in Thailand. It doesn’t matter if you are walking in Bangkok or driving along a motorway in the northern part of the country, everywhere are booths and stalls.

Of course there are a numerous number of markets in Bangkok, but also on ‘every corner’ and ‘between these corners’ street vendors are selling delicious and very cheap food. Or, as we did on several occasions, take a fresh squeezed glass of orange juice.

Along the main roads we also saw very often booths, selling all kinds of fruit or gifts. To be honest never saw any customer. In the small villages we passed, there were always simmering or boiling pots and barbecues in front of houses.

But we met the most remarkable street vendors in Khon Kaen, some were selling beds and other furniture along the road and on other places we saw people repairing clothes behind ‘old fashioned’ sewing machines.
