curtklay Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Now that you mention it, what is the reason that Thais insist on backing into parking spots? Usually it takes them 10 minutes and several tries to even get into them, while they hold up traffic. It seems totally pointless. Anybody know what's going through their heads, other than the wind?

WarpSpeed Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) On this one I side with the Thai's, the spaces are too small and straight (i.e. not angled) making it far more difficult to back out without hitting something or doing it quickly, there it is MUCH better to back in based on the lot designs. Unless your car has rear end steering. Edited September 27, 2014 by WarpSpeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Timely thread, in our Big 'C' parking bays are straight and small, a lady had reversed in and couldn't maneuver out forward of her parking space, as trucks had parked forward either side very close and there were cars and trucks opposite. With little room she went backwards and forwards not making any progress, I asked my wife to ask her if I could help and she seemed relieved of the offer, after about twenty turns or so backwards and front on full lock turns with wife and her telling me when to stop, managed to get the Accord out. Next Fridays talk, tell em to make parking bays at an angle as already said, and wider too, then it doesn't matter which way in you go IMO.

sfokevin Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I created this thread out of frustration because the other day we had to want 5 minutes while someone pulled their car halfway out of the stall so they could get their shopping cart to where the trunk was!!!

BSJ Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I like backing in to a parking spot....but parallel parking is the greatest way to park! But, some people still manage to make a meal of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's the difference waiting 5 minutes for them to load or 10 minutes for them to pull out because they can't do it in such small spaces? It may have even taken longer if they hit someones car or worse yet a pedestrian, have some perspective, such a small thing to get riled up over, there's plenty more really important things in Thailand to do that with.
