The Bangkok Metropolitan authority has given the green light for traders to begin selling in Khao San Road from the beginning of September. 

 

Bangkok governor Gen Aswin Kwanmuang said after a meeting at city hall that refurbishment and development work was now complete.

 

There will be two shifts for traders: 9 am to 4pm and 4 pm to midnight. 

 

A total of 240 stalls will be allowed. 

 

There must be proper access for ambulances, emergency vehicles and fire services.

 

Each trader will be permitted to trade for between one and 2 years. Exact details of how this will work will be ironed out in further meetings this week. 

 

Normally a busy tourist area, Khao San Road has been very quiet during the pandemic, notes Thaivisa. Operators in the area hope to be able to attract a Thai clientele to make up for the lack of foreigners.

Adjust the prices and you should get Thai customers.

Hang on a second. Wasn't it only a few months ago that the government was trying to do away with these traders? The mind boggles.

Not all   !       There are perhaps many different sizes,  but is is not really possible for them all to be different

For what?

No commercial airlines allowed into this kingdom.

Expecting those trapped tourists  to come to Khao San Rd?

Anything & everything P's government says  about exist strategy is  so unrealistic & absurd.

Cannot expect any tourists return as long as the stupid restriction(coronavirus free certificate) is in place.

they certainly don't seem to be the same height, the work started around january/february plenty of time, you'd think, to get it right...
