CityNews – Local vendors along the Loy Kroh Road stretch between Chang Klan to Charoenprathet (or McDonald’s to the Iron Bridge) attended a meeting with local authorities to discuss a recent deadline that will force them to move from the area by August 1st.

 

Pol. Col. Thapanapong Chairangsee, Superintendent of Chiang Mai Regional Police Traffic Centre; Lieutenant General Panu Rojanawasu Deputy Mayor of Chiang Mai Municipality; and Col. Poka Jokloy, County Militia Headquarters at 33 Camp Kawila and representative of the NCPO met with the vendors on Wed 26th July.

 

The vendors asked for the meeting to express their concerns about being given a short deadline to move, claiming that the authorities had yet to find them a suitable replacement location. They also expressed concerns that local big businesses had facilitated the crackdown.

 

However, the authorities who attended the meeting explained that the request for the vendors to leave was issued two years ago following the NCPO’s order to re-organise roadsides to give back space to traffic and pedestrians, but the vendors had chosen to ignore it.

 

Again, on August 25th, 2016 authorities ordered the vendors to leave the road by September 1st, but due to the short time frame the local authorities unofficially extended that deadline to August 1st, 2017 – giving them a whole year to find a new location.
