A WOMAN who had parked her car at a well-known shopping mall for a couple of hours was shocked at being being hit with over 6.5 million baht parking fee but this later turned out to be an error by the payment machine, Sanook.com said this evening (Jan. 5).

 

Crew of Hone Krasae programme on TV Channel 3 said on their Facebook page that the unidentified woman had parked her car at the unnamed shopping mall at around 9 a.m. and went out to run errands.

 

Upon returning and driving out of the shopping mall at 11 a.m., she was shocked to find out her parking fee totalled 6,574,590 million baht, which she said is higher than what her house is worth.

Dear me, if officials keep acting like this the netizens will have nothing to be outraged about…

 

”After a while the huge bill was cancelled because she had parked for less than the four-hour free parking duration. The shopping mall management then apologised for their machine having made this error and the woman let it go without taking action.”

 

Nah, just kidding. Netizens always find something to be outraged by..,

some great news ........!!!!!

The "No Pciture" on entrance is a giveaway.

 

No record of her entering the facility so the start date defaulted to some earlier date, maybe from when the system was first initialized?

 

 

Oh what a relief that it turned out to be mistake right? otherwise imagine if it was true...

I suspect her car had been parked there for the past 6 years and she just came to get it so her farang didn't take it back as part of the divorce settlement.

Woman parks car for two hours.

6,574,590 THB or 6.57 million or 6,574,590 million?

 

I am surprised that there is enough space to show that number at all. It seems the developer made his homework and tested it with large numbers. ???? 

Just keep the car. Bye bye.

Must not live at the posh-end then

There’s my lottery numbers for this week. If I win you’re all invited for a beer!

I hope that the machine was given a final warning.

Taking the 131496:29 parking duration gets us to the start of 2008. Central Chaengwattana was opened later that year and no other BKK malls come close enough to that date. Now someone needs to just drive by there to confirm the picture matches the location and we'll have another AseanNow mystery solved!
