"Street markets and fuss are part of the exotic charm of Thailand," tourists are sure. However, the new government of the country seriously intends to put an end to the disorderly illegal trade.
Such a decision is due to the fact that the street business is not regulated by anyone and, in addition, hinders the movement. The authorities have already begun to eliminate illegal institutions in the most popular tourist destinations: in Bangkok, Pattaya and in Phuket.
One of the places under ban is the Ta Chang market in Bangkok, located right next to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Here, local traders often sell Buddhist artifacts to foreign tourists. In addition, the market makes it difficult for people to move around, because they are close to a busy bus stop.
"The decision has been brewing for a long time and is due to the fact that sellers are worried only about themselves. They occupy public places under their own points and severely hamper the pedestrian and traffic movement, "says Major General of the Bangkok Police Vichai Sangparpai
