In a city where eating well is an obsession困擾;無法擺脫的念頭;念念不忘的事, a statement by a senior official published in a national newspaper caused a public outcry吶喊;大聲疾呼.
Vallop Suwandee, who chairs an advisory給予意見的, 報告 board to the governor of Bangkok, was quoted as 引用 saying that street vendors小販,賣主 would be removed from all 50 districts區,區域 of the city.
It seemed that one of the most popular and distinctive與眾不同的,獨特 aspects特點, 方面 of Bangkok life was to be wiped out, days after CNN had voted Bangkok the best place in the world for street food, and just two months before the city government was planning to hold a street-food festival節日.
Mr. Vallop now says he was misquoted錯誤地引用,誤引: “Let me be clear, on behalf of代表 the city of Bangkok. Street food will continue to be part of Bangkok life, on the condition that there will not be obstructions阻塞物,障礙物 for pedestrians行人,步行者, and that the vendors小販,賣主 observe觀察;觀測 sanitary衛生的,清潔 rules in the interest of public health. We will allow them to be in certain areas, under strict要求嚴格的 conditions.”
This is not the first time the Bangkok Metropolitan大都市 Authority當局 (BMA), which is responsible for running the city, has tried to impose迫使, 推行;強制實行 order and standards on the hundreds of thousands of food vendors小販,賣主 operating on the streets.
Right after剛..就 the BMA was first established in 1972, it launched起動 a similar campaign(尤指政治、商業或軍事的)專門活動 to force the vendors小販,賣主 to operate in designated指定 markets instead作為替代.
Variations轉變, 變化 of that campaign(尤指政治、商業或軍事的)專門活動 were revived(使)甦醒;(使)復原 every few years but implementation安裝啟用,實行 has always been weak because the BMA recognised the vital重要的, 必不可少 role street vending played in providing a source of income in difficult economic times.
Most of the time it has quietly chosen not to push too hard.
This time may be different. The number of officially approved locations for street food vendors has been cut dramatically, from a peak of 726 four years ago to 243 by the end of last year.
Tens of thousands of vendors have been forced to move already, leaving many downtown areas like Siam Square曼谷暹羅廣場, Asok and Silom with few or no street-food stalls貨攤,攤位 now visible during the day and night.
The most recent area to be cleared is the increasingly越來越多地,不斷增加地 wealthy neighbourhood of Thonglor通羅.
A small side street, or soi, which for many years had been famous for its street food, is no more, although city officials say the vendors were offered alternative(計劃或方法)可替代的 locations in smaller sois further away遙遠.
