529 stallholders at the Chatuchak trip industry may leave by April 30 in order to accommodate planned restoration, according to City Hall.
The training was issued by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s business company.
Market business president Suksan Kittisupakorn, accompanied by additional senior officers, explained the maneuver during a press briefing at the BMA mind business on Wednesday. It addressed concerns about transparency regarding the weekend market’s management, the refusal to maintain sellers ‘ contracts using the 529 stalls, and instructions for the market’s expansion.
Mr. Suksan refuted the claim that the business office did not deliver rent collected from vendors at the industry’s” Project 30″ and those located near the time building to the BMA between 2019 and 2023.
Mr. Suksan claimed business office workers gave vendors who paid rent receipts, which were then turned over to the finance section.  ,
He denied that the book series process was irregular.
According to Mr Suksan, monthly expenses for continuous booths were 1, 800 ringgit a quarter, clean stalls 1, 400 ringgit and trees and flower stalls 900 ringgit. The State Railway of Thailand, which paid 169 million ringgit annually, held control of the market, but the BMA ran it.
Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the business office had never collected any monthly fees for other suppliers in the fiscal years 2020-2024 and had reduced those fees for different vendors. This caused a drop in revenue, he said.
Extra money from the governmental years 2023-2024 was collected, including sales taxes, vending fees, and fees for use of unoccupied areas.
He defended the business company’s right to revoke barn lease agreements and to great those who paid later. The great was not as large as critics claimed, he said.
Prior to the Chatuchak trip market, vendors petitioned the government of Bangkok and Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra to have the business office’s refusal to maintain the agreements of 529 stallholders.
Mr. Suksan claimed that the vending locations in these places were ugly, and that the pathway’s width had been reduced from the initial 19 meters to just 9 meters. Stores in the area complained that their starts were today obscured behind booths, which was unacceptable. There was also bad weather flow, he said.
The BMA had planned to create the clock tower place as a new location to draw visitors to the weekend business, he said, because the contracts for the 529 stallholders expired on October 31 next year.
The deadline for those stallholders who had expired had been extended until April 30 according to the business workplace.
Stallholders who paid their rent at the beginning of the day were previously permitted to select another vending stalls. There were about 200 booths obtainable and the typical 60, 000 baht charge was waived, he said. However, just 15 sellers opted to accept the offer.
Of the 529 stallholders affected, 122 owed back-rent to the business department. According to Mr. Suksan, the office had now canceled the contracts of those late stallholders and would reimburse them for the money owed.
