AmuletMarketClosing

27 NOVEMBER 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: An amulet vendor reads a Thai newspaper while she waits for customers at her amulet stand on Maharat Road in Bangkok. Hundreds of vendors sell amulet and Buddhist religious paraphernalia to people in the Amulet Market, a popular tourist attraction along Maharat Road north of the Grand Palace near Wat Maharat in Bangkok. Bangkok municipal officials announced that they are closing the market and forcing vendors to relocate to an area about one hour outside of Bangkok. The closing of the amulet market is the latest in a series of municipal efforts to close and evict street vendors and markets from areas that have potential for redevelopment. The street vendors will be evicted from the area by Sunday, Nov. 29. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
