City Hall's newest plan calls for the end of almost all street food in Bangkok, with a new 'Street Food Mecca' 25 kilometres away by the sea. (Bangkok Post file photo)Bang Khunthian Chai Thalay is set to be a new street food mecca in the capital, with a seafood concept, to boost tourism and the economy, according to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). The BMA announced the move after it earlier decided to regulate two city street food spots, Yaowarat and Khao San roads. City Hall's proposed 'Street Food Mecca' is planned for Bang Khunthian district, about 25 kilometres from currently popular street food areas, with no direct public transportation. The minister also called on the BMA to crack down on migrants working illegally on the food street.
