Kopitiam Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Why do the loops when you can park your vehicle? Furthermore, the flight could be delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterocket Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Are you trying to save the 20 baht charge for the first hours parking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Are you trying to save the 20 baht charge for the first hours parking? That's if you can even find a space. Parking is near impossible. Hope that new car park opens next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketsub Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 I never realized it was so cheap to park there; a pleasant surprise. Finding a spot is not easy, but possible. Less pleasant were the huge traffic jams all the way from Thalang Town to Boat Lagoon on the way in and out. Not a nice introduction to the island. Why can't they move cars off the road after a fender bender (minor accident)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking is near impossible. Hope that new car park opens next year. I can't say I have ever had a problem parking there. I just park towards the back near the coaches. Plus it ensure you never get cars parked in front of you. Was there 2 nights ago. New car park does look quite impressive though....as far as car parks go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Incidentally I just learned that trick today while I was watching this brilliant Google ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
