PATHUM THANI, Thailand: Cries of"Food, here comes the food," echoed through a Bangkok neighbourhood as Wannapa Yarnsarn's truck arrived with everything from mangoes and dried chillies to fresh pork for sale.
For generations such mobile shops were common in Thai neighbourhoods but new shopping malls with their big supermarkets and convenience stores with microwave-ready meals have nearly driven them out of business.Now the COVID-19 outbreak has given some of the back-of-a-truck shops a new lease of life. Wannapa said business had been good since the coronavirus virus emerged in January with an average daily profit of 2,200 baht compared with about 1,800 baht before.
