Unfortunately. Would be good if the government were able to see through its policy. to eliminate street vendors. They are a major traffic hazard and cause accidents, not just with their very slow modified mopeds but also with their total disregard for traffic rules. 

 

At first I also had sympathy for the poor street vendors, but when you realise what kind of problems they cause in an already problematic traffic it makes total sense to address that issue.

 

Most of the street food is of very poor quality anyway. Better to go to a good restaurant.

Lets not forget they park themselves right in the middle of the pavement so you still have to walk in the road. For instance, Soi 11 Suk, all newly re paved, now its a heaven for the vendors, but the people whom live there, the tourist(s) if they come back or anyone whom dares to walk down this street its confronted by having to side step them in the road only having now to tackle the speeding motor cycle taxi. For me Soi 11 is to be avoided and these vendors should all be removed or located in an area whereby they don't represent a hazard.

Who wants a bowl of MSG anyhow?

 "customers were found tugging" Tissues and wet wipes are available at the end of each aisle. 

Don't be so hard on the man, him and his underlings are all total on top of there game.. just don't know what game there playing.

Im surprised communal eating is not banned. It should be and it is in malaysia. Food isnt banned as it is a necessity of life. Communal eating is not.

They still gather 15+ with the food vendors outside my local 7.. all day everyday, with there bottled of home brew.

Expert, and Thailand can you actually say that in the same sentence.

An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.

Plain ridiculous.. they will cause more business to fail, some of these small bars will disappear and never come back is that the plan?

Not even being able to buy in 7 just crazy at this stage of the game. 

These people are to stupid to be stupid... The world laughing again.

If this man (Government) had to lead this country to war.. I dread to think the consequences.. one step forward twenty back. Could not organize a pizz up in a brewery even if they were open.

Thai logic, Thai contradiction

While there are not a lot of places open around where i live,

in the last week,there are a lot more people and traffic about,

don't know what they are all doing,just getting out of the house

i suppose.

Ditto in lower suk last few days.

Hope they enjoy the quarantine at the Hilton... they deserve the holiday.

Any country that entertains Chinese tourism now is going to shoot themselves in the head never mind foot. Nobody but nobody will want to be in the same place as these things (not people not animals) can't think of a narrative to describe them other than disgusting.

Anyone surprised... <deleted> up in a brewery springs to mind

Good luck with that Thailand, reap what you sow comes to mind, more cash sale businesses like bars and restaurants will disappear with these hi so big spenders.

No confirmation of these numbers from TAT yet?

I will await their response as I only trust their information in relation to visitor numbers to Thailand.

You know the numbers will be up.. they have been suspiciously quite in recent days, so expect some well cooked numbers!

Brilliant!

These clowns ( no insult to actual clowns intended)... If this goes viral around the world, don't these people in charge have any embarrassment that all this does is make the rest of the world laugh at this Micky mouse set up of a government... just unbelievable.

Here we go damage limitation in top flight now!

Wonder if we will have TIT for TAT.

Sounds like a good slogan for the tourist board to me????

That sounds absolutely right... great new slogan for Thailand mentality.

Might actually knock some sense into them over here. Doubt it though not much in there heads to start with.

with so many red tapes (thick envelopes), employment restrictions, poor infrastructures, non sense outdated procedures and so forth, who the heck is crazy enough to start a business here...

Agreed, I looked to move my business from Shenzhen to here, back handers, red tape, restrictions.  It was cheaper and more effective to go back to Europe. Plus now we get everything right first time on quantity. Costs today are even playing field.

And still the Chinese walk around, spitting on the pavement, they just don't care anything.
