Bangkok's Street Food Markets are Being Shut Down

For decades the noisy bustle of street vendors has filled the streets of Bangkok, but this could soon become a thing of the past. In a bid to "clean up" the city, the authorities have already cleared away thousands of vendors; at the same time a major riverfront development will see whole communities evicted. In one small community on the Chao Phraya River, local families are preparing for the day they'll be moved away, to be replaced by a concrete promenade.
