[webfact]

 

THE management of Bazaar Hotel on Ratchadapisek road is now moving the controversial statue of Kru Kai Kaew, an emaciated, winged figure with golden fangs and scarlet talons, from the front to the rear of the compound after the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) set a deadline and slapped a big fine, Matichon newspaper said late last night (Dec. 27).

 

Mr. Pairoj Thungthong, CEO of Suan Lum Night Bazaar Ratchadaphisek Co. Ltd., the owner of this hotel, said as he has now returned as the project’s executive he is rushing to resolve the problem caused by the five-metre-tall Kru Kai Kaew statue after SRT ordered that it be moved out of this area within 30 days, or by Saturday Dec. 30,2023.

 

The company also paid a 1.3 million baht fine last Friday (Dec. 22) because no construction is allowed in this area according to the building control law.
