natway09 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 In our one way Soi there is a big no parking official sign on a dedicated pole. Do you think that stops them ? This guy has no chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lormakmak Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 don't confront, do it Thai style... key the car parked there, put screws/nails in the tyres, put dog poo under the dog handles... that's how Somchai and co have handled this issue for many a year! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruit Trader Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This guy is attracting attention. On Facebook locals are asking if this Farang cut down the tree on the sidewalk and if so did he obtain permission from city hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinjo Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Really? If someone says don't park here, I tend to park elsewhere. Things escalate, and being you are a frang, you are wrong. How much can you afford to lose? As they say in Thailand... "Up To You" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) It is not unusual for business owners to lay claim to the road in front of their shops, as far as the central reservation apparently. And the selfish parking one sees in Thailand is legendary. The solution should be to make it no parking and actually issue tickets! Bloody berks with their camera phones policing the world.

johng50 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Mmmm she could arrest me any day the female cop, maybe a little bit of resistance and she might get a bit rough on me, and the girl on the far left is a little cutie as well. The girl in the middle and the gestapo looking male cop look like father and daughter, couldnt crack a smile if they won the lottery.

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. When and where please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaifriends Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Restaurent owner seems to be real crazy person or too angry on his decision to open in isolated place. This is public parking and what Thai do to block it, has nothing to do with this. So he is also acting cheap or mean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now? We're lucky if we get one a week, and shabby affairs they are too: slouching rozzers in bursting uniforms, hand-drawn maps and chaotic reenactments, all with desultory pointings.
