Abstract: Nowadays, chicken rice is one of the famous dishes in Thailand and is the most popular food in Thailand. Chicken Rice Shop can be normally found everywhere in the community. The researcher has a special fondness for chicken rice, therefore, chicken rice was chosen as an experimental example of this research. Farmed chickens can sometimes contain a large amount of contaminants, so the researchers conducted a comparative experiment between the chicken rice in the store and the restaurants to see if the cleanliness of food and products differed. Henceforth, this led the researchers to many questions and concerns about the hygiene of such foodstuffs. From the above problem, the researcher saw the importance of the problem. Therefore, the objective was to survey and analyze the number of coliform bacteria in 24 chicken rice shops from 5 major districts Nong Khaem district, Taling Chan district, Bang Kruai district, Bang Rak district, and Bang Khen district. In Bangkok, it is divided into indoor chicken rice and chicken rice outdoor restaurants. Coliform bacteria were used to identify coliform bacteria in chicken rice. The test results show that there were similar results between in-store chicken rice and chicken rice outdoor restaurants, and 67% of the chicken rice in the 5 major districts of Bangkok failed to meet the standards of cleanliness. From the research it can be concluded that the type of restaurant is not a determinant of food hygiene. It is considered an excess number of bacteria and should not be taken orally. Keywords: Coliform bacteria, Restaurant, Street food.

[1][2][3] According to the mentioned passage about contamination of microbes in food, Nowadays, harmful bacteria has been detected in our daily life food and especially in street foods. Street food is numerously popular in Thailand which leading to the unintentionally consumption of contamination of Coliform bacteria, E. coli and S. aureus in food that can be fatal to the point of causing illnesses, leaving foods without any protection resulting in the raising number of bacteria in food
