Eighty participants were surveyed. The figure above shows that Bangkok is the place from which most vendors came (46%) and the second is the North-eastern region (26%). This finding is different from Nirathorn (2017), who found more non-Bangkok vendors. Although most of the vendors are originally from Bangkok, the survey illustrates that there are people from almost every part of Thailand carrying out street vending as their career.
