Khao San Road seen recently without its usual touristsThe Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) insists major street vendor sites on Yaowarat Road and Khao San Road will be allowed to stay. "City Hall will not wipe out all street vendors," deputy Bangkok governor Sakoltee Phattiyakul said. Mr Sakoltee held a press conference yesterday to allay concerns of street vendors following a cabinet decision on Tuesday. For the final phase, the BMA will revise laws on public health and the environment to manage street vendors. City Hall is considering opening new street vendor sites in Chatuchak, Klong Toey and Bang Kho Laem districts.
