Fortune tellers, street hawkers to be banned from Sanam Luang

BANGKOK: -- Fortune tellers and street hawkers will be banned from Sanam Luang and nearby areas from June 1, Bangkok's Phra Nakhon district director Rerngsak Horareung said Wednesday.

Officials will get tough on street hawkers and roadside vendors around Sanam Luang, and along Rajdamnoen, Wisutkasat, Na Pralan, Maharat, Mahathat, and Sanam Chai roads - as well as the stretch from Phanphiphop Lila Bridge to Pinklao Bridge - all routes that delegates will take to join the 60th anniversary celebrations of His Majesty the King's accession to the throne, Rerngsak said.

Some 300 street hawkers were informed about the new enforcement three weeks ago and most understood the necessity and will look for new trade locations elsewhere, he said.

Only a few insisted on remaining in the same area, and the district will charge them according to the Urban Cleaning Act, punishable up to Bt2,000 fine, if they haven't moved by June 1.
