Huay Yai, Thailand – On the evening of June 2nd, 2025, Mr. Yotsan Chaiyakul, 55, the administrator of Haodong City Market in Huay Yai Soi, Banglamung District, Chonburi, addressed recent social media rumors falsely suggesting the market’s closure. The misinformation, which caused confusion among vendors and customers, stemmed from a post linking market management to issues involving fines.
Mr. Yotsan clarified to The Pattaya News that the controversy arose when a vendor, who violated market regulations, had their stall revoked and reassigned to a new tenant. The vendor then posted misleading claims online, damaging the market’s reputation and causing concern among traders and patrons, who feared the market was shutting down.
Stressing stability, Mr. Yotsan reassured vendors and customers that Haodong City Market remains fully operational and committed to maintaining high standards and strict adherence to its rules. He encouraged anyone facing issues to report them directly to management for prompt resolution and continuous improvement.
The market is also preparing to take legal action against those responsible for spreading the false claims. Interested vendors can contact Mr. Yotsan Chaiyakul at 095-1597441 or Mr. Somchai Khotlamkhaek, a Vietnamese-Thai footballer, at 085-0555640 for stall inquiries.
