This is probably one of the oldest methods of selling food in Thailand. Food is transported in rattan baskets, which are connected to the corners of a wooden pole via long ropes. This pole is meticulously balanced on the vendor's shoulder as he plies the streets. Flag down one of these vendors and you are in for a treat. Within the baskets are grilled corn, sweet potato or banana, grilled eggs in the shell, BBQ chicken satay, succulent garlic sausages, meatballs on skewer sticks, steamed corn or groundnuts, delicious sticky rice mixed with coconut and sweet banana and red beans that are cooked while wrapped in banana leaves.
