Bad marketing

» How could all five markets at the Seri Villa housing estate, Prawet, have been operating illegally, with some violating the building code as well? The markets have been operating in plain sight for years, with customers jamming streets with parked cars. BMA governor Pol Gen Aswin Kwanmuang is to be praised for quickly checking on the Prawet markets and vowing to review all 364 markets in Bangkok.

Haze a concrete issue

» I am surprised that nobody to date has raised the possibility of the huge increase in concrete making sites contributing to the pollution. In the road behind where we live, Rama 9 Soi 19, there used to be four such sites, now there are nine and a 10th being erected. The huge area being developed adjacent to the MRT Depot in Huai Khwang has had its own concrete-making machine erected. Another site on Rama IX similarly has recently had one erected. Concrete dust particles are present in the air directly from these sites. Concrete mixer lorries throw up clouds of dust when leaving the sites, some also get rid of the remnants in the mixer by offloading at the side of the road, I suspect illegally.
