500 Registered Vendors Stalls Stolen At Silom

[coffee333]

This is not fair. Stalls were supposed to be for people who lost their spaces during riots......they were registered and when they they went there othe rpeople occupied their stalls. They had proper registration papers but police did nothing..WRONG

The police are sitting in a bar watching the football. Lazy good for nothings.

Probably don't want to pay the bill either!

This is typical Thailand and it is sad and unfair. There is no law and the police do nothing. Or the police were paid by the new stall vendors which is the Thai way.

[CHdiver]

You would think if 500 where cheated they could force the wrongdoers away, but it also shows that Thais dont just cheat Farangs.

This just shows how far behind the world Thailand is slipping . Here in Phnom Penh , vendors in one area were suddenly levied a

Tax' for no reason , they all went as a group to that corrupt dictator as he is referred to on TV , Hun Sen , he listened to their problem and discussed it with them . The owners of the site were told to stop this practice , everybody happy .

Why can the problem on Silom not be rectified in the same concerned manner ?

[hhgz]

The displaced vendors got other spaces. Having police interfere with sellers (registered or not), that have had their businesses disrupted by the political situation, would cause other problems.

[dumball]

So , to your way of thinking , any person can take over any other persons legal stall and it is merely a case of "Mai phen rai", just go and do the same to some other person , no one can stop you .

Do you not think that this is much of the reason Thailand is going nowhere in a hurry ? SOMEBODY has to be the penultimate BOSS

to lay down the law and make a bl@#$dy decision to set the squatters straight or the current state of lawlessness will continue ad-finitum . Glad I moved .
