jonw8uk Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 the number 5555 would be more apt for the complaint line.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanuman2547 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Isn't it ironic that the number for you to call is nueng, Ha! Ha! Ha! Which is probably the response you would get if any one would ever answer the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also cars park on the roads everywhere, it's the most lawless place of BKK, total mayhem on the streets. NO FUN to walk around for shopping. I won't call the number, sure they can't speak english since nobody at the government can. When do the riverboats get lifevests? Also that never happened and they are still overloaded. They are under the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaikahuna Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Seems to me 1555 is Tourist Police. We can report but how will they respond unless we have a way to photograph and send pics. I am guessing it's too much trouble for the BiB to get off their collective arse and do their job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Hanoi it is not possible to walk on the pavements, let alone ride, as they are used to park motorcycles. Those parked in the road get removed by the police. And, yes, it does mean you have to walk in the road a lot of the time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 They need to start handing out the maximum 5000 Baht fine allowed all the time. That will get some attention. Hopefully, the same 5000 Baht fine is available for double parkers, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this post.. the vendors have totally taken over the sidewalks. motorbikes cant go their anyway. people have to walk in street to get around. i remember about 6 yrs ago on ko sarn area . the cops did do a clean up run of the vendors on the sidewalks .but haven't seen it since. maybe they are making money from it?

George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 So what about the "cycle path" between Sukhumvit Soi 39 and 51? Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsider Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) "... the main problem areas were Sukhumvit Road, Lat Prao Road, Rama IV and Jaran Sanitwong Road..." These idiots have never been to Silom/Sathorn areas? It's just as bad - not enough watching out for traffic on the main roads, you have to watch out for these two-wheeled pests using the pavements as toll-free expressways. More hot air here. As one poster pointed out earlier, this (threat of action) has been ongoing for years, yet the sidewalks are still the motorway for motorcycles. And now the stupid brown idiots want us to do their work for them. Can't be arsed to do their own work, can they? Or maybe the word 'enforcement' does not have a Thai equivalent.

fruitman Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Motocy's use the sidewalk when there's total gridlock on the roads...that's they real issue. Gridlock happens when cars just park on the road or switch lanes nonstop, then they can't drive inbetween the cars. Wearing a black shirt on a motocy in full sun is very hot, inhaling the fumes of the stinky buses is even very dangerous. So give motocycles a place on the road and the problem is over. Also let them use the bridges again. Big cars don't belong in a city, motocy's and bicycles do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infrastructure aside...the illegal practice is extremely dangerous to pedestrians. Most are there out of pure laziness to make a proper U-turn or follow the correct direction of ONE WAY roads.

Taxi's and minivans DON'T belong to be parked on the road...but they do it anyway since the police let them do so. The left lanes are for motocy's but if those are blocked they take the sidewalks since there's space to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDee Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I had my motorbike towed for parking on the sidewalk last month. Pain in the neck to find it because it wasn't at the nearby Bang Su police station, they suggested maybe the Phayathai station, not there, but suggested way over in Bang Su the traffic police or something, not there, but they suggested the Phayathai District Office, where in fact it was. At each stop takes searching the parking lots and impoundment areas to look for it. Cost 2,000 and a bunch of hours. I don't park on the sidewalks anymore. Of course I still see it, but don't need the headache again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubby Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 over at lat prao station MRT, I noticed they actually have a bicycle/motorcy lane right in the middle of the sidewalk. whomever the mafia that controls the motorcy taxis, could get them some toliets, and a decent win, maybe they'd not see every sidewalk as theirs to do with as they like.
