Guests from Sukhumvit hotels in Bangkok can have an interesting time as they watch hawkers using particular utensils that offers a clue as to what kind of dish they are selling. If the hawkers are using a brass pan on a butane burner, they will be selling beef soup with beef pieces or if they are using a pestle with a brown clay mortar they would be making a papaya salad. Deep woks are used for stir fried food and enamel basins on charcoal cookers usually will have roast pork or simmered pigs’ legs. Big aluminum pots are used for storage or for holding desserts and enamel pots are used to hold pre-cooked foods like fish curry (khanom-jeen narm ya) or noodles.

Glass showcases may be used by some hawkers to display rice, sliced meats for fried rice, fresh fruit or desserts. Many of the hawkers may use a steamboat which is a pot that has a charcoal compartment in the center and a cylindrical chimney for keeping soup hot and a claypot is used for slow cooking. Almost all hawkers may have jars with spoons to store condiments. Guests staying in wonderful Bangkok accommodations can walk through the bustling streets and enjoy the fascinating Thai cuisine.
