However, public criticism over the deal has prompted Cafe Amazon to withdraw, while Thammasat rector Kesinee Witoonchart stepped in with a pledge to find a new location for Yimsoo. Yimsoo at the law faculty is the second branch of the namesake restaurant in the Arun Amarin area. According to the faculty, there were two bidders in the auction, Yimsoo and Cafe Amazon. It was reported that Yimsoo received 1,059 points compared to 1,092 won by Cafe Amazon. Wiriya Namsiripongpun, Yimsoo Cafe's owner, said Yimsoo is not just a shop, it is a place for on-site training for people with disabilities.
