BANGKOK: -- The issue of reserved parking for drivers with special needs is finally getting the attention it deserves. All too often owners of Supercars are finding their special, fancy parking spaces occupied by unworthy vehicles.

A popular mall responded to the pressing issue of protecting our scarce parking assets for the convenience of the super-rich after outrage(!) spread over a lowly Nissan eco car allowed to use such a spot.

The mall was Siam Paragon, which seems to benefit from some special media policy, as its name was again withheld from reports for no apparent reason.

Paragon officials explained that despite the appearance a commoner gained access to its “SuperClub” parking spaces – which are restricted to fancy super cars only for security reasons – the driver was in fact a certified member of the elite.

As some had speculated online, the Nissan Almera belonged to none other than Thanapat Tantisaewaekul, the 19-year-old businessman who puzzled the public last month when he blew THB25 million on a vanity license plate for the car.

Yet the internet was not about to let something pointless and absurd such as which car can and cannot park in a fancy parking space rest without torturing the issue with empty debate.

Self important plonkers

Returning happiness to some people!!

The new PC wording for daddy's got money?

I remember being at Central Chidlom some years back and I remember someone in a beautiful red Ferrari taking about 3 minutes, 40 twists of the wheel and 20 changes from 1st gear to reverse to back his shiny toy into a parking space.

I'm serious...

Didn't see the Bentley or the Roller, I guess Chalerm wasn't shopping that day.

Since when a supercar and money classified people as "elite" and deserve attention!!?? Unfortunately it doesn't prevent stupidity!

What's his business? Being someone rich's son?

A white Nissan was parked in a parking lot somewhere in bkk. Woooooooooooow.

and never the twain shall meet.

"The new PC wording for daddy's got money?"

Your wording for "my dad and I haven't and I'm envious"?

Little boys playing with their little toys. More money than sense.

Never. The OP was saying that very much tongue-in-cheek, ie it was a mickey-take, and it went right over your head.

It wasn't just somewhere... It was parked next to their precious super cars! Can't have things like that going on you know.

It's not as threating as, "Do you know who my daddy is?"

When the licence plate story broke wasn't he supposed to be a student ?

Reserved parking for the elite used by riff raff.

Reserved parking for disabled drivers at Tesco used by everybody.

Is that the precious license plate owner?

I think the guy was just trying to be inconspicuous.

So he drives the maid's second car in the hope the press wouldn't notice him. Pulls into the elite car space in very discreet fashion. See! Totally anonymous.

Didn't see the Bentley or the Roller, I guess Chalerm wasn't shopping that day.

And guess how many of the cars which you can see there belong to army generals?

They missed the point. The security parking is not for the car its for the B25 million number plates on it.

I got no problems parking the vigo there. Might up the real-estate a bit.

Probably in the shop after a night of drunk driving!

"...the 19-year-old businessman who puzzled the public last month when he blew THB25 million on a vanity license plate for the car."

I wonder what Freud would say these drivers of long, big, beautiful cars are overcompensating for.

That plate number is more expensive than some of the super cars parked there

And guess how many of the cars which you can see there belong to army generals?

Would it be as many as those belonging to corrupt PTP politicians?

Any topic and you will hit below the belt to get a post in. What the Heck has this to do with the army----bury your hate.

Very much doubt it, who could get more corrupt than PTP-they actually proved it themselves.

Why would anyone buy a super-car in Thailand at more than twice the UK price, then try to drive it in the most gridlocked city in the world. Two full helpings of stupidity. I laugh when I see one of these hilarious people.

Beats me also but it's their money to do whatever they wish.
