Street food has long been popular among foreign visitors and locals alike in many Asian cities, with Bangkok being one of the leading capitals endowed with such a powerful magnet. However, unlike Singapore’s hawker centres, the street-food scene in Bangkok and other big cities in Thailand is probably more diverse, with characteristics that are not found anywhere else.

In Asia, China was the only country that registered more foreign tourist arrivals totalling 60 million. The move has been welcomed by most local and foreign visitors.
