Pattaya, Thailand-Pattaya City officials visited Bali Hai Pier yesterday, February 22nd, to follow up on reports from local residents and domestic tourists of unscrupulous individuals allegedly charging for parking around the pier.

 

The group of officials inspecting the pier were led by Mr. Pattana Boonsawad, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya City, along with his staff and assistants.

 

According to Mr. Pattana, the public parking areas around the pier and heading towards the lighthouse were free of charge and meant to be a convenience for visitors to the pier.

Have often wondered who gave the concession to charge for parking around Buakhao market.

So as this has being going on for umpteen years, they have only just realised ?  More like some other mafia family is muscling in on their business and they don't like it.

The other half act dumb.

If they cannot find a prostitute in one of the biggest red light cities on the planet, finding a con artist parking attendant I would say is well beyond their ability

It isn't  jyst at bali hai peir.  They are doing it all over Pattaya.  We had to govto the police station last nightvafter someone took their own chain and locked my girls tires on her truck. Dragged it away.  Not the police but some kwai. Any way we went to police and the police ruked in my girls favor, as the kwai put up signs after he scammed and dragged away the truck. Then we had to calll insurance  appraiser as the kwai damaged hervrims.  So he wanted to scam 500thb.  He now has to pay for damages  to her truck, and the insurance  companies  involved so I hope the con gets charged even more for his greed.

A common scam in Thailand. And if you refuse to pay then you'll probably return and find your vehicle damaged. They operate everywhere, in every village where there's a fair or temple gathering. Self-appointed 'guards'. Just part of the culture.

Is anyone really suprised?
