BANGKOK — City Hall has declared a new crackdown that isn’t a retread of previous recycled crackdowns on banana vendors, street food or illegal parking. This time the axe is coming down on unregistered markets.

 

Gov. Aswin Kwanmuang’s declaration of war came after residents in eastern Bangkok smashed a shopper’s truck last week out of frustration with its customers. The incident became a national sensation, and this morning some vendors were seen taking down their stalls on the eve of Aswin’s ultimatum they shut down.

Seems those ladies are going to win from the market. Too bad for the vendors but had the owners of the market not charged any fees for parking the ladies would not have the problems.

 

But as i read in other topics the owner of the markets were intent on driving the ladies out and had pestered them before hoping they would leave and he could buy up the whole area and develop it into something new.

I think they should give the Army & Forestry department a call

 

They're having great success in locating boundaries
