The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration started demolishing 12 houses in ancient Mahakan Fort community Saturday.
After one hour of negotiation between the BMA and residents of the ancient community Saturday morning, the residents agreed to allow the BMA to dismantle the 12 houses whose owners have moved out earlier.
The demolition began at 11 am.
The BMA launched its operation to evict the Mahakan Fort community on Saturday morning but facing the block from the residents. Earlier, there were 56 households living in the Mahakan Fort but owners of only 12 houses have moved out. The remaining 44 house owners vowed to stay put.
