New operating hours from 4 pm-midnight for Khao Sarn vendors

 

 

Vendors on Khao Sarn road, one of Bangkok’s best known landmarks among backpackers,  will be allowed to do their business from 4 pm until midnight instead of 6 pm until midnight as earlier mandated by the City Administration.

 

Phra Nakhon district chief Mr Pongsathorn Siritham said that the new 4 pm-midnight operating hours for the vendors was agreed upon at a meeting of the district-level committee to resolve vending problem which comprises representatives from metropolitan police, vendors, Phra Nakhon district, municipal police and the community.

 

Areas along 402 metres of Khao Sarn road from Chakrapong road to Tanao road are designated as vending zone to be divided into two zones – food and non-food – with an open space of about 30 m long at both ends of the Khao Sarn reserved temporary parking for cars to deliver and send people.
