Vendors at Jatujak Green Night Market, the nocturnal offshoot of Chatuchak Weekend Market, prepare to leave as their lease's are up. PATTARAPONG CHATPATTARASILLThe Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) on Thursday played down reports about JJ Green Market vendors refusing to move out by the Sept 12 deadline. The BMA has to hand the land back to the Queen Sirikit Foundation, he said. She said business at JJ Green Market had been quiet for weeks after the BMA announcement about the closure as many thought it had already closed. The project will see three major parks -- Chatuchak, Queen Sirikit and Wachirabenchathat -- merge into a 700-rai mega-park by 2020.
