SAMUT SAKHON — Many urban eateries see their share of customers ticketed for parking illegally while getting some food. One such venue came up with a solution: fool customers and police alike into thinking it’s okay to park curbside.

 

In a post shared to an online Samut Sakhon community, someone published photos of a noodle vendor on Ekachai Road in the process of painting over the red and white colors designating it a no parking area.

That old trick...yawn

Selfish idiot.  Occupying the public sidewalk for tax-free income selling shitty noodles wasn't enough.

 

Recycle his stall into a bus shelter and make him re-paint the entire road.  Send someone to check the colors after, though.  ????

Darn... gotta do the opposite and paint the black lines opposite my house to red...

When I was given a community service order, I was made to repaint a road. Unfortunately I was given the M6.

As if the instant karma wasn’t juicy enough, the Samut Sakhon city district chief announced afterward that the stall was illegally squatting on a pedestrian walkway. The owner must tear down the stall within seven days, or the authorities will demolish it and charge him for the work, Wutthipong Suphakwanit said.

 

......Som Nom Na !!!!!

It is common for vendors, merchants and every other self-important Thai to commandeer, block off, mark or otherwise take over public space for themselves. The authorites seem impotent, disinterested or in the business of renting public spaces to said miscreants.
