"21 DECEMBER 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  A porter hauls a load to a waiting taxi from Pak Khlong Talat, also called the Flower Market. The market has been a Bangkok landmark for more than 50 years and is the largest wholesale flower market in Bangkok. A recent renovation resulted in many stalls being closed to make room for chain restaurants to attract tourists. Now Bangkok city officials are threatening to evict sidewalk vendors who line the outside of the market. Evicting the sidewalk vendors is a part of a citywide effort to ""clean up"" Bangkok.
