Popular Post Mango Bob Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 The Thais think they can block public parking areas on the street for their carts or put buckets and traffic cones. I was told once that I could not park in a space that had black and white curbs because their van to Bangkok parked there. I told them to screw themselves and called the police over. I parked there and walked away to do my business. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tracker1 Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 Seems to be a common practice stopping vehicles parking on a public roadway ! the other day I parked on the road and went shopping at the local market when I returned it must be the most miserable old Thai I have ever met with his little cooked meat set up complaining about parking there and wanting to know how long before I moved ! All I can say is f***ing unbelievable what some people expect ! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Spaniel Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 The problem with parking in front of these "Thai owned" spots is when you come back you may find your vehicle has been keyed or worse. My friend parked his motorcycle in a spot claimed by the motorcycle taxi guys. They asked him to move his bike so he explained to them that the space was for any motorcycle. When he returned both tires were flat. At least they didn't slash the tires. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post robblok Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 Seems foreigners are as idiotic as Thais about spots in front of restaurants and houses. Its a public road if you want your own parking for your shop pay for it. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Peterw42 Posted June 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 The shop is directly opposite Thessapit night markets (127 food outlets) so Fri Sat Sun night there is no parking within 500 meters of the place.

( selfish gits ) it's turned it into a no go area. Just one more example of the truly selfish nature of Thai drivers.

billsmart Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Is that green sign an official police or traffic sign? If it is, then you must obey it or be ready to face the consequences. If the sign is just something the store-owner had made up, then he should be dealt with accordingly by the police and at least fined for the fraud. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he says the area is for his customers only, so did he ask the guy in the car he was videoing whether he was coming in to buy a Subway sandwich or other Subway products? Does he have any document to prove he has some special rights over this public land? No of course not, and it would be quite interesting and amusing to see / hear someone demand he prove he can dictate who parks there. Does the owner run out and ask parker this question? In fact if he came out and quickly approached me with the comment 'you can only park here if you re my customer', then i (and I suspect plenty of others) would just drive away. Plenty of other food choices. He would have to pay franchise fees every month plus rent, plus loads of equipment costs, and a limited customer base. He would do well to tuse his time to think about how to approach / build a wider customer base through delivery options etc etc., rather than use his time confronting people. Does he wait until the buyer has made a purchase and starts to walk way to another parking spot, then say 'you can park in the front of my shop'. Not rational. Nowadays their products are outrageously priced anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inThailand Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I can't count the number of times a Thai shop owner told me I can not park in the public space in from of their shop or at least I get the stink eye and I say I'll be right back. This falang is just doing what Romans do in Rome. It doesn't make it right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
