Parking ticket?

[Tigger01]

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can assist me, this afternoon i parked the car i was driving on the side of the road in an area i thought eas ok. When i returned I had a parking ticket, there are two boxes ticked, i think one is because i parked on the rhs of the road facing traffic, i didnt realise this was illegal, i do now! The second box is, i think i was parked witin a bus stop area although there were no road lines to indicate anything? The question is how much is the fine, a friend told me its 200bt but it looks on the ticket that its 2000bt which sounds a lot, anyone know what I've got to expect?? This happened in Ban Phue today, i have 7 days to pay.

2,000 seems excessive. I paid 200 for parking on yellow/white curb markings. Yep. The contra direction parking is an old law, still not 2,000 baht for the two though. I’d be interested as to the result when you pay

Thanks Patriot, I've just been to the police station and thankfully it was 200 bt! The scribbled writing on the ticket did look like 2000 so a bit of a relief! And now iknow about contra parking! Thanks for your reply.

Don't ever park a car 45 Degrees to the kerb similar to a motorcycle. It's not allowed although the motorcycle will not get a ticket.  ????
