Roadside vendors have resumed trading near Suan Luang Rama IX park, the area where City Hall suspended markets after two elderly sisters attacked a pickup truck blocking their driveway with an axe.
Vendors were seen selling food and other items at Seri Villa housing estate in Prawet district on Sunday, FM91 traffic radio tweeted.
Ajapim Aroonlucksana on Sunday posted the pictures of the makeshift market and questioned why they were allowed to trade near the fence of her property, despite the fact that the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) ordered all five markets in the area to cease operation.
The roadside stall was located only 50 metres from the location where two women on Feb 18 took an axe and a metal rod to a pickup truck parked in the driveway of their house by a visiting shopper, saying they could no longer put up with the surrounding markets and the frequent blocking of their driveway.
City Hall later suspended all five markets for city ordinance violations and BMA officials could face disciplinary action for allowing them to operate illegally.
