I find it amazing that more and more Thai people in Bangkok and Pattaya (at least) eat on the sidewalk. Of late new ad hoc kitchens have opened up all over Pattaya and they're all doing well. The cafe scene and restaurant scene in the west is basically a causual option between home cooked meals but here it looks like it has become mainstay eating. Could it be that eating out on a massive scale has become a necessary option due to the incresing costs of vegetables , meat and fish?
