UPDATE BELOW December 27th
Bangkok, Thailand
The State Railway of Thailand will exempt stall rents for vendors at Chatuchak Weekend Market for two months ahead of its takeover of the market management from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.
SRT governor Yutthana Thapchaoren said yesterday the SRT would take over the market administration from the BMA on Jan 2.
Mr Yutthana said the SRT will form working groups to run the market for the first two months, within which time it will set up a subsidiary to administer the market.
During the two months, the SRT will try to work out reasonable rents with vendors and will invite them to take part in further developing the market.
Rents will vary, depending on the four zones of the market, and the SRT expects to initially make at least 200 million baht a year.
The SRT will present its Chatuchak market management plan to the cabinet for consideration on Tuesday.
It will invite Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra to attend a ceremony to reopen the market under the management of the SRT.
Mr Yutthana expects the transition from the BMA to the SRT to go smoothly. However, he will ask the police to secure the market at the start of the transition.

Pol Lt-Gen Chatt said the BMA is required to return the land to the SRT on Jan 2.
