29 NOVEMBER 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A woman sells traditional ointments in a street stall in the Amulet Market on Maharat Road in Bangkok. Hundreds of vendors used to sell amulets 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 were evicted from the area on Sunday, Nov. 29. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
