Starting in October, daytime vendors along Silom Road will be gone, for good.
So says the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, which wants to spruce up Silom’s image from Narathiwas to Sala Daeng intersections by banning daytime vendors from setting up stalls. They will still be allowed at night, though.
According to city hall, almost half of the approximately 900 vendors were found to also operate during the day. In addition to restricting daytime sales, the Bangkok Post reports the city wants to limit stalls to specific operating hours and sizes.
City officials want to implement the same regulations at Sanam Luang 2, Chatuchak 2 and Talad Phlu.
