The Consumer Protection Police Command yesterday dispatched officials to check on shops selling commodities, construction materials and sandbags in Bangkok and its vicinity after receiving reports that some vendors were reportedly hiking up their prices o
The police would ensure that commodities are not overpriced and that all items carry clear price tags. They will also prohibit vendors from hoarding goods. Those who fail to put price tags on their goods will face a Bt10,000 fine, while those selling goods at prices that are too high will face seven years in jail and/or Bt140,000 in fines.
