4.Bangkok(曼谷),Thailand,is known for having some of the best street food in the world.But officials have announced plans to ban food vendors(攤販)in an effort to clean up the city.An assistant to Bangkok's governor told The Nation newspaper the move is meant to improve the appearance,walkability and safety of city streets.
"The street vendors have seized the pavement space for too long and we already provide them space to sell food and other products legally in the market,"the assistant said."So there will be no let-up in this operation-every street vendor will have to move out."
Bangkok was recently named the world's finest street food location for the second year by Cable News Network (CNN).
Vendors can be found in all of Bangkok's busiest areas.They serve everyone from business people to tourists to local citizens.The chairs and tables are basic.Customers have to deal with Bangkok's extreme heat and polluted air while they eat.But the tasty food keeps people coming back again and again.
Nont Nontskiul is a financial worker in Bangkok.He lives in a part of the city where street vendors will be some of the first to be removed.He told the Associated Press that,"Even people who eat at pricey restaurants every day can't avoid street food.It's faster,tastes better,and costs less than half the price."
Critics of the street food clean-up campaign say low-income people-including food vendors and their customers-will be most affected by the ban.They have called on the government to do more to help the vendors keep their businesses going in a legal way.
Ubolwattana Mingkwan is a coffee vendor in Bangkok.She charges 85cents for a cup of coffee.She says she cannot afford the cost of rent required to do business in a government-approved area."I've asked city officials for help and understanding,"she told the Associated Press,"All they say now is"no,no,no."They've already received their orders."
