Felt 35 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I have not been to Central for a while but a Thai friend which do here weekly shopping there told me today that she had heard info about new parking regulations after New Year. Anyone seen any notification about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Never heard that one. But given the terrible congestion in the car park then I would not be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goober Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It's true. You can see the new booths at the exits now have cash registers installed but its free if you have a receipt of purchase. I think its fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Ok, that's good to know, So is it like Jungceylon, spend 100 baht, get a couple of hours free. So long as there are more parking spaces, that's fine by me. I find it's a nightmare finding a space even at 11.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense because after what I was told many people use the garage parking area at Central and then leave the car there for the day and are not near any of the shops in the centre.

thaiIand Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 if you leave central at closing time, theres still at least a 100 cars there.. airport parking #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merijn Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Correct starts today. I believe the first 3 hrs are for free with shopping receipt. I also think it is a good move as it is always full. But this is also because so many parking spaces is used and blocked by all the rubbish they put in storage in the carpark. And the all the areas that are blocked off for the construction vendors. Edited January 1, 2012 by merijn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkt83100 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 So I bet it will be even more difficult to get out to the Bypass-Road from Central. The left lane (the one with the red-white painting!) will be blocked completely. If I remember right the no-parking was enforced just for one day there, that's it.

walker600 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 They give you a card on the way in, the first 3 hours are free, ( i believe no receipt needed) the 4th hour is also free if you have a cinema ticket stub. Each additional hour is charged at ฿30 i think..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each additional hour is charged at ฿30 i think..... Central should have installed an automatic parking pay system with a road barrier The above will be abused before we are to second week of January.

madmitch Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I've used Homeworks recently with a walk over the bridge. Better than driving around looking for a parking space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiIand Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 i park at homeworks and walk across the bridge, or on the road home pro only has farangs parking.. thais are too busy driving around untill 6pm in central's parking or causing accidents by parking in the road while using 3 lane to backup 20 to 30 times until they finally get the right distance an official study should be done on intelligence and choice of parking space by race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Although they hand out a card when you go in fees will not be charged until next month. I made the mistake of going in there on Monday thinking parking would be OK considering one now has to pay but it was the normal chaos including cars parked all over the place on the roads outside.

petercallen Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It works in Jungcelon always plenty of parking there Its a good thing that Central has changed to the same system Try parking there on a Sunday, no parking available and takes about 20 minutes to just drive in and out to go home again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the shop owners/workers who used to park in Central are now parking elsewhere. Tesco & Big C may have to follow suit although Big C have that large space outside that is always empty which could be utilised. Having said that the mall owners should provide a separate parking space for their leaseholders & workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go there about 6 times a week, never had a problem to park my car. If now with the new parking system someone is not able to park his car in central, then it is better for him to give his driving license back and hire a taxi or tuktuk.
