Bangkok street food - a photo on Flickriver

            This place in the heart of Chinatown served a variety of curries on rice, inexpensive and fast, seating provided along the small road, with free drinking water, local news and advertisements. Sadly the place is no more, the street kitchen moved, the house with the nice wall has been restored and the corner now looks modern and clean, a bit generic and lifeless like the new 7/11 and Starbucks that opened around the opposite corner. 

Change and gentrification have gathered pace the last few years with the arrival of the MRT underground line. Street food will always be available in Chinatown, but somehow the charme of old and something "authentic" and unique becomes harder to find. Their curries were nice and where else do you get yummy food on pink UFO shaped plates for a bit more than $1 drink included?

It was not easy to get a good shot across the busy little road, this here probably the best moment I got. But 1/60 at iso3600 make it a bit too soft. On the other hand i quite like how the slow shutter retains a feeling of the dynamic and movements :) 

How do you think?
