Monday roadside stalls closed

[The Dancer]

I thought it was just a few areas but apparently roadside stalls are not allowed to operate on Mondays anywhere in Bkk. Anyone know what the deal is with this?

[Sviss Geez]

Yes, vendors are not allowed to operate on Mondays per BMA regulations.

Comes from regulations enacted what Chamlong was governor (I think), keeping one day for street cleaning.

Thanks, Sviss, planr.

I guess they've just started enforcing the rule because lower Suk used to be humming late every night, no exceptions, till about a month ago. It's funny to see the place deserted like last night.

I'll wager though that it all starts to slip (like the no shisha law) in about a month. It'll take more than an army to keep Bkk from doing what it does best.
