Chatuchak Market vendors protest eviction to make way for new venue

BANGKOK: Vendors around the clocktower at Chatuchak Market in Bangkok are protesting after being told they will be evicted to make way for landscaping work at the central landmark.

Nikorn said the BMA City Market Office had informed him that section 30 would be transformed into an activity area, with vendors moved to an inner area. He added that section 30 vendors would submit a letter to City Hall in Din Daeng district on Wednesday, asking Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt to handle the issue.

Removing the stalls would allow improvements, including burying overhead cables and turning the clocktower into a venue for live music, which could attract more visitors.
