N47HAN Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 In 12 years of living in this wonderfull country I have managed to find a fire hydrant ! How ? Well ,..... Finding a parking space between two cars , I carefully reverse into the space between , being dark with no street lighting im going pretty carefull and thinking the sensors will alert me if I get to close to either car , I proceed with the manouver . Bang!!! <deleted> !!! not near either car , no alarm from the cars sensors , what did I hit ?????? A bloody Fire Hydrant <deleted> ! They placed the damn thing so close to the edge of the curb that the T section on top was actually sticking out into the road around 5 inches . Got out of the car , Tail Light gone , side panel creased . Maybe I should start going round on a pushbike after this week ,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I did the same yesterday but it was a pile of roadside bricks freshly dumped. Rear bumper lost paint and looks semi ugly. You can only laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patongphil Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I can beat you all. Day before yesterday I, against my usual judgement, followed the instructions of the "Parking Attendant" at BKK Phuket Hospital. Reversing a bit blind he directed me staright into a barrier around a tree. Luckily travelling very slowly so no damage done. Another lesson learned!!

JetsetBkk Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 You know it's illegal to park next to a fire hydrant? Yeah, I know: TIT, who cares, everyone else does it, etc. This one's in Bangkok road near GC Huat. I can see why people don't like to park near it...

NamKangMan Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Shouldn't the heading of this thread be, "Parking space in Phuekt - managed to find one." :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Shouldn't the heading of this thread be, "Parking space in Phuekt - managed to find one." Or: "Illegal parker understands meaning of 'Som nam naa' ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
