Local Drunk Posted October 15, 2014 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. "Look at me! I'm someone!" Comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseLost Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Do customs officers take a stroll through this place once in a while? Are there not plenty outdated, base spec 'super cars' missing? Out on temporary papers while still supposed to be held in bondage? By now they will have had chrome and stickers added everywhere, so it may take a little detective work? No, I guess that would just not do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaltsc Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanapat Tantisaewaekul, the 19-year-old businessman What's his business? Being someone rich's son? 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. If you think about it, in Thailand, "Disabled Driver" is extremely redundant, and all drivers do qualify for those parking spots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You park them in places people can see then stand near them and take photos of yourself next to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthurwait Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Erm I don't see a single 'supercar' in that picture, a few hairdressers cars and that's it. 100 Baht yes 2 pound yes a whole £2 to the parking attendant will let you park anywhere in Thailand.

There is more to Thailand than Bangkok. You should get out and have a drive around sometime. Although there are some poorly maintained roads around, it is very easy to find highways where you can drive in excess of 300KPH. Try doing that in the UK. 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) 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. This should have been saved, maybe with a slight modification, for the next Thai Visa April Fool leg-pull. That would draw 10's of pages of condescending outrage from the self-appointed morally superior (but cash strapped) farang contingent. Self important plonkers I rest my case. P.S. When we go to Central Festival Pattaya, we always pay for reserved, segregated, attendant monitored parking for our mature Honda Civic. Well worth it, even for those of us who are decidedly non-elite. Edited October 15, 2014 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trogers Posted October 15, 2014 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... You have to excuse the car owner. His chauffeur called in sick that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morakot Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Someone please tell me what the license means. "1 กก 1111 Bangkok " ก (Gor Gai) is the first letter of the 44 Thai consonants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chotthee Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 "...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. The plate itself cost more that the Porsche parked besides it.

NoBrainer Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Actually it seems like he has pretty good business credentials. I read that he re-sold the license plate a week later for 33 Million. Not a bad return on investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
