I say again, WHY does Bangkok need food trucks?

So last night after some fun and excitement in my dear Bangkok, we were hungry.  We wanted choice, we wanted flavour, and we wanted food fast.  Being close to Thonglor, there were plenty of restaurants around, but we didn't want to hang out with a hi-so crowd, and we didn't want foreign food.

The obvious choice?  Soi 38, right at the BTS.  Now Soi 38 isn't my favourite street food, but there are about fifteen stalls serving everything from noodles to khao man gai.  Throw in the food stalls all around the intersection of Sukhumvit and Sois 38 and 55 (Thonglor), and you could conceivably have a mini Bangkok eating tour self-contained in about one square block.

There was a food truck last night sharing some pavement space on Soi 38, but it had closed up already.  Meanwhile, the food carts and stalls were going strong with most tables packed.  So I say again, Bangkok invented mobile food - who needs food trucks?
