BANGKOK, Oct 31 — Each morning, Adulwitch Tangsupmanee brings a cart of crispy pork belly to a run-down cinema in Bangkok’s Chinatown and sets up the same street-food stall his internationally renowned father ran for nearly 50 years before dying of Covid-19 in July.
Known to many as “Elder Brother Ouan”, Chanchai had stood behind that same cart selling “Guay Jub” rolled rice noodles soup for decades until he died at age 73. As the city is set to reopen to foreign visitors on Monday, Adulwitch hopes customers will again line up for his father’s noodle soup, to help him lessen the pangs of loss.Bangkok’s street-food vendors were already under stress before the pandemic, having faced evictions and bans from the city’s efforts to “clean up” sidewalks in recent years, while more upscale and trendy restaurants sprang up everywhere.
