Bangkok's iconic bustling streets,sexy erotice striptease lined with food vendors may soon vanish.
The government is moving to ban these food carts and makeshift clothing stalls from the capital's main roads, as part of a campaign to clean up the city.

"They will not be allowed for order and hygiene reasons."
Officials have for weeks been forcing vendors out of Thonglor, one of the city's popular tourist districts, but the latest announcement confirms that the ban is city-wide.
Bangkok was earlier voted the world's best destination for street food by CNN, and is known for its wide variety of cheap food dishes served in stalls along the road.
Street food can cost as little as $1 in Bangkok.
Officials say the street food stalls clog the foot paths, littering the streets and blocking the way of pedestrians.
But for many, the city's street stalls are part of its main draw:

But this decision isn't new.
Bangkok had last year already started on its plan to clean up its streets -- evicting some 15,000 vendors from 39 public areas across the city last year.
A Bangkok resident who agreed with Bangkok's Metropolitan Administration (BMA) that the streets needed cleaning up, added that she believed another zone could be set up for street stalls.
"The BMA should set up a zone for the street vendors, so they can keep their jobs and preserve the charm of Bangkok's street food," Romdheera Phruetchon told The Nation.
"The people can benefit from selling, while the tourists can enjoy the unique street food of our city."
