Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Bangkok roti woman, Benjawan Kaewsaen, gets happy again after crying initially about her stall in Thailand…..
The Bangkok Roti Lady, also known as Puy the Roti Lady or Benjawan Kaewsaen, is a street food vendor in Sala Deang, Bangkok who became notably popularized on YouTube in late 2022 throughout early 2023 after several food-related YouTube channels posted videos of her making roti at her cart outside of Silom MRT Station. Her specialty is a banana pancake roti. In January 2023, Puy shared that she was being forced out of her location and couldn’t afford to pay rent in the new location. As a result, her fans donated money to her through the STREET FOOD JOURNEY YouTube channel, allowing her to continue selling roti from the new location.
