(Photo: Bangkok Metropolitan Administration)A new hawker centre that has opened next to Lumpini Park will help the public access clean, high-quality street food, Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt said on Friday. The new hawker centre features well-known street food of the area. The hawker centre has space for 130 stalls, along with running tap water, drainage, grease traps, washing areas, and comfortable dining spaces, which are often missing from standard street food stalls. The governor said priority was given to vendors during a previous street food management project, with measures in place to prevent subleasing or transfer of stall rights.
