Hey Geoff! It's unfortunate that Bangkok's Street Food scene is diminishing even though it's quite big as you said it used to be bigger. The corporations are taking control of land and areas they want to take. As they say, the rich always get richer. Thanks for the post. Also, we wanted to stop by and say we created a Discord server for foreign Steemians in Thailand to connect and chat. It's the place where we can organise meet-ups. Here's your invite: https://discord.gg/R7GusbA
We hope to do a Bangkok meet-up after Songkran and the festivities. :)
If you know any other Steemian that would be interested in joining the group, please let them know. The link is valid.

It's sad to see any tradition diminishing, especially one to representative of a culture. But, money is power, and at 40Bt for a plate of Street-Food v 250Bt for a McMeal, there was only ever going to be one winner.
The discord server is a great idea and I'll pop across there later.
We'll also take 6 plates of street food over one plate of fast food. We feel these fast foods are changing a generation's diet here. Obesity might end up coming a problem here, but that's another issue.
Come on over when you're ready! 😊
