Pattaya eyes clampdown at unruly Naklua New Market

By Jetsada Homklin

 

Pattaya is planning to bring order to Naklua’s unruly New Market to improve hygiene and traffic in the area.

 

PATTAYA: -- City Manager Chanapong Sriviset chaired a June 26 meeting that laid out the objectives for the new rules aimed largely at sublessors and those who ignore market regulations.

 

Opened in 2006, the Naklua New Market has two daily selling sessions, at 2-11 a.m. and 2-11 p.m. The morning session has 375 stalls and the evening offers 336. The market also houses 13 commercial buildings, 102 stands and ten 24-hour food stalls.

 

Many of those stalls, however, are illegally subleased out by vendors that feel no obligation to comply with health and safety regulations, Chanapong alleged.

 

He said they waste water and power, dump garbage wherever they want and clog sewers with food waste.

 

Overall, vendors encroach upon public land by placing containers and equipment outside their stalls, which creates congestion inside the market.

They do that? I've never noticed it, probably because of my deep state of coma.

This is by no means unique to Naklua market......it is countrywide!!!!

Encroaching on public land seems to be taken as a right here.

[klauskunkel]

"unruly", huh? They just don't like to be ruled..., and who can blame them if you look at the people who issue those rules and laws.

Where exactly is this "new" market in relation to the fish market?

[bangkokairportlink]

Which market is it ? open at night ?

So what provisions are there for garbage collection?  Paid for and collected by the city?  Is it the responsibility of the landlord of the area?
