Although it is a public place, in recent days, the sidewalks of the streets around West Lake have become eating and drinking spots for some shops.

Both sides of the sidewalk and the walking path around West Lake are used by shops, one side has tables and chairs to sell draft beer, the other side is for parking customers' vehicles.

The sidewalk on Ve Ho street is also encroached, pedestrians have to walk on the street, posing a potential traffic safety risk.

In fact, the functional forces of the wards around West Lake continuously take action, but violations continue to recur, causing the sidewalks and walking paths around the lake to become messy and filthy, and pedestrians have no place to move.

The sidewalk on Trich Sai street was encroached upon for parking.

From evening to about 10 pm is the time when the sidewalks of the streets around West Lake are occupied the most.

People wanting to walk or exercise on the sidewalks of the streets around West Lake have to squeeze through rows of motorbikes.

Many coffee shops, snack shops, and beer bars, despite having indoor service space, still encroach on the opposite sidewalk to display their products or use them as parking spaces for customers.

Walking along the streets around West Lake these days, it's easy to see restaurants and cafes turning public spaces into their own.
