Officials ban access to illegal markets near home of ‘furious aunts’

By The Nation 

 

 

Authorities have warned that anyone violating orders that ban entry to illegal markets surrounding the house of the so-called “furious aunts” are liable to a jail term, a fine or both.

 

The Prawet District Office has posted announcements on its orders and punishment involved at Ple, Yingnara, Rungwanich, and Suan Luang marks around the Saengyoktrakarn family’s house. 

 

Violators may face a jail term of up to six months, and a daily fine of Bt30,000. 

 

According to the orders, no one shall enter or use structures that are erected or modified without permission until authorities grant approval. The orders also require that illegally built or modified structures be adjusted to comply with what was approved by authorities within 30 days. 

 

Armed with an axe and a shovel, two Saengyoktrakarn sisters attacked a pickup truck that a shopper parked in front of their house’s gate earlier in February, attracting huge public attention. 

 

The controversy about their actions finally revealed their decade-long plight, which started after several illegal markets were opened around their house.

Interesting. The markets are apparently illegal yet the market vendors had been paying rent to somebody.

 

Presumably that somebody was the one responsible for erecting the illegal structures to rent out and must have been given the nod that he could do it for a remuneration to the right people.

 

Whole thing smells of corruption but no arrests made or names mentioned. Reform at its best.

The last I read yesterday was that Pinocchio himself was going to stick his unwanted nose in and sort it out. Just like he sorted out the beach chairs and the pavements and the lottery.

No longer necessary. As has been reported in the news they have given the markets and local drains a thorough cleaning so the problems regarding legality have been washed away and solved.

 

Thai logic.....not mine.
