00:00Have you seen the mobile grocery truck in Bangkok?
00:09The truck, the tricycle, or even sometimes the motorbike filled with fresh products like
00:14fruits, vegetables, or even sometimes spices or household items are called Rot Pum Puang
00:20or Rot Kap Khao.
00:21These mobile grocery trucks are like convenience stores on wheels, packed with everything from
00:26fresh veggies to spices and even cleaning supplies.
00:29The truck stops in a small neighborhood and people come out of their homes to shop.
00:34Rot Pum Puang likely became popular during the late 1980s land boom, when the new suburban
00:40roads and housing development emerged.
00:42The rise of convenience stores in 1989 also affected traditional groceries, pushing mobile
00:48trucks to drive.
00:49Today, Rot Pum Puang remains essential for rural and suburban communities, delivering
00:54groceries right to the doorstep.
