joepattaya1961 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Saw this morning that the parking for motorbikes around TukCom has been closed. There are signs stating something about no parking allowed between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m., but is this daily? is it only during Buokhaw-market-days? What's up with it?

bartender100 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I always park in Freindship and walk to Tukcom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) If this proofs permanent, then there will be chaos and Friendship will have to cash in for motorbikes. I was just waiting for this to happen (same at Central where there is only one hour free now). Could someone provide a picture?

Which "Central" are you referring to KhunBENQ ? not "Central Festival the Beach" I hope. I haven't been to the other "Central" at North Pattaya for ages but they had free car and bike parking last time I went.

KhunBENQ Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately yes. On my visit in August I drove into the parking garage of Central at beach road and saw a price list for parking a motorbike and something about 1h free. Also they did not hand out the usual plastic card but some paper slip. I left before the hour was over.

johng Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) If this is the sign you saw then its been there for years. Sometimes the automated numberplate reader is broken then they have a guy shouting out registration numbers to the other guy in the booth who scribbles on a bit of paper. I've parked there many times for over an hour on the weekends and never been asked to pay ( yet ) back on topic I can't see any parking enforcement on the sois around Tukcom lasting very long before business suffers so back to normal soon. A photo of the new signs would be helpful too. Edited September 22, 2015 by johng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerspace Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Parked my bike there for 6 months after running out of petrol on the way home. Very relieved to find it again without any parking fines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya46 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 From a friend, the sign would ask all Tuckom staff, and staff working in the many shops inside, to not park there during the opening hours of Tukcom. So it would be more like a "reserved to customers" sign ? To Be Confirmed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) That would become an interesting story and at the same time explain why you merely find a lot even shortly after opening hour. I bet in the long run there will be no other solution than strict closing off, fee for long term parking, clamping, removing etc. Thailand, welcome to the real world. Not that I long for. At our local Tesco: numerous car parking lots occupied by employees. The best lots of course with a good shadow Edited September 23, 2015 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also park my scooter at Friendship when going there, parking out on the road is risky since the police seems to be on their toes and towing bikes away, parked on the wrong side. I hope they at some stage relocate Tukcom, that building is getting old and doesn't look very inviting anymore, or with another word: a shithole.

Nice of the motorcycle taxi guys to bring it back after they used it for a "fare" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya46 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I think it's well what I have been said before, a sign asking staff to go park at Tuckom park in the back every days 10-22h, but I would prefer someone translate this to avoid any misinterpretation...

johng Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Motorcycle parking spot for customers of Tukcom in use 10am to 10pm every day. Staff and traders kindly park at the multistory car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it happening and making any difference? Maybe some motorcycle rental mafia will shoehorn themselves into any free space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
