Saan Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Not a good look for S & P when one of their staff parks her car outside Rimping Nawarat in the disabled zone. The young lady, a trainee wearing her S & P apron, didn't blink an eyelid when it was pointed out to her the parking space was reserved for a disabled person.

hellodolly Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 She would go far in politics. She is clearly showing she has the abilities. She might have to sharpen up her thinking ability to go far with S & P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I have mentioned this to Thais a couple of times over the years when I have seen young, able bodied people pull up and park in handicapped parking spots. Each time, they have glanced over at me and just kept on walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminatorchiangmai Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 So many people in Thailand driving asocial in company cars, they just don't care Writing down the licence plate number and reporting them to the management would be the thing to do. Only i doubt it would help or make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just had lunch at S&P at Rimping Rumchok, 500 bht for 3 measly meals, automatic 10% tip added (no employee in dining room at lunch time) and the wifi sign on door turns out to be a 40 bht charge to use. The food cost could not be more than 10% so they are making a killing for microwaving food so I'm sure they can afford company cars for all trainees. (ok I now better than to go to a place like that but kids were hungry etc., but maybe I just needed a reminder of how bad these places are and wonder again why the local eating public supports such rip offs) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Its usually HiSos in their big cars that park in the handicapped space at the rear of Rim Ping Supermarket, no shame,don't even try to limp away from their car, sometimes you wonder what is wrong with people,they don t care about anything but themselves, if only karma worked. regards Worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I know. How do they get away with it? It would seem not competitive with other shops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Its a woman thing: car parking; she wouldnt have got the car in a standard space. Women are actually like parking spaces, normally all the good ones are taken.So, occasionally, when no one"s looking, you have to stick it in a disabled one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baerboxer Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thailand wide attitude. UK wide attitude too. My son is disabled and we have to park in the reserved spaces where possible. I've had many "discussions" in the UK but leave to my wife here. Strangely it seems often the usual cuprits in both countries - women out shopping in between the school runs, brains on neutral; or pompus pricks who think they're poo yais or so important that they can park anywhere. In both countries I've had people rush into the disabled space to beat us in, and then sheep off when they see our wheel chair. Some of the supermarkets and malls in the UK started to clamp unauthorised cars in reserved spaces. The lack of consideration and selfish attitude is apalling. These morons have no idea of the challenges disabled people face, and what's more they couldn't care less. Sorry, rant over! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoslim Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Are you disabled and does it affect you directly ? If not why not leave it to Thais to actually deal with those kind of matters or move to Pattaya and apply as a foreign tourist police volunteer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Maybe Rimping is reading TV? This morning when I walked in to the rear entrance of Rimping there was a brand new, quite large white sign that had been put up in front of the handicapped parking spot closest to the rear entrance that said something to the effect of "handicapped registered car parking only" in large red ink in both Thai and English.

After a hip operation in Australia a number of years ago I would stagger onto a tram with crutches and private school kids would remain seated and on seats designated for people with disabilities. But without fail if there was an Asian school kid on the tram he/she would bound up offering me their seat. It is now days rare in Melbourne to see a disabled spot used by someone without a permit. The general public don't like it and the vehicle will pretty quickly end up with a parking fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
