BANGKOK — City Hall on Tuesday pledged to fix broken sidewalks across five districts in southern Bangkok, an issue city planners blamed on street vendors.
Wanchai Thanomsak, director of city planning at Bangkok city hall, announced plans to renovate the capital’s deteriorating sidewalks in the districts of Bang Na, Pathum Wan, Watthana, Khlong Toei and Phra Khanong in an effort to make them walkable again.
After major downtown areas were cleared of street vendors in April, the footpaths they left empty are nagging officials for a repair.
