Caution: Parking attendant at Dawan Daeng near Future Park

[impulse]

Not my problem. My goal is to have a nice day. If that means I cough up 20 baht to get a pest off my back, that's 20 baht well spent.

Someone else can incur the guy's wrath for ratting him out or putting him in his place. Not my job, nor my responsibility. Too often, it ends badly here in LOS.

One day you may not have 20 Baht, then it will be your problem.

The day I don't have 20 baht, and I'm still in Thailand, and still driving a car that needs parked, I've got bigger problems- like crappy priorities.

I was not meaning that you may be broke, more likely you have just been to the ATM and only have 1000 Baht notes on you. Would you stand your ground or give away 1000 Baht for a hot towel?

Hey,Cheap Charlie,Just continue to show that you are an AXXHOLE when dealing with locals and you are bound to learn the hard way.Dare you to park there again..Buttheads like you are just one of the reasons many Thais hate farangs.I hope that he passes the word about your car so that it wont be safe even parked at Future Park.

You should set up a valet parking "system" by the sounds of it...

I would be interested to know if this parking attendant was wearing any sort of uniform.

The reason I ask is if they wear no uniform and are collecting fees (seen commonly all over Thailand) means they are protected by a local politician / senior police officer / senior military officer but are working in the black economy. They wouldn't be collecting fees if they were not part of a dark influence network.

If he was wearing a uniform identifying his employer and was demanding money with menaces, I would imagine he felt he was right as these guys are responsible for their actions to their employer.
