webfact Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Common car in supercar parking beginning of downward spiral?By Coconuts BangkokPhoto: PantipBANGKOK: -- 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.Full story: http://bangkok.coconuts.co//2014/10/15/common-car-supercar-parking-beginning-downward-spiral-- Coconuts Bangkok 2014-10-15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Local Drunk Posted October 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2014 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... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitawatWatawit Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much doubt it, who could get more corrupt than PTP-they actually proved it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jeremy50 Posted October 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2014 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
