Hua Hin market traders warned about selling fake goods, failing to display prices

[webfact]

 

Ahead of the New Year festivities, Hua Hin’s municipal officials have rolled out a public relations campaign focused on the protection of intellectual property rights and the mandatory display of price tags at markets.

 

This initiative, led by Mr. Phumirin Sukprasert, Head of Nuisance and Pollution Control/Deputy Head of Environmental Quality Management, and supported by key municipal officers, aims to educate and inform market traders and business operators in areas such as the Hua Hin Beach, Train Station, and the bustling Hua Hin Night Market.

 

Joining Mr. Sukprasert are Mr. Sitthisak Duangkaew, a Sanitary Inspection Officer, Mr. Suphap Madchan from the Legal Affairs Group, and Municipal Enforcement Officers.

Display prices?? If thats a law i think the majority of market vendors in the country are breaking it

[The Old Bull]

A lot of products have huge mark ups. Footware made in Cambodia for $!0 selling for $100 a pair. Handbags made for $20 selling for $2000. So as long as they are selling brand names not products there will always be lots of room to slide in with knock off products.

Seems like this man has strayed from his department and perhaps should be concentrating on reducing the air pollution in Bangkok, that is currently at dangerous levels.

He has given up on his day job, it was way too difficult.

Hence his new and very lucrative job of cracking down on fake goods

How about noise pollution? Along the beloved Phet Kasim Rd, the speed is supposedly 50 kph. At night is was like car racing - cyclists and truck drivers speed at 80 kph and I have never seen any Traffic Police doing anything.
