webfact Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Pattaya again claims troubled Bali Hai robotic garage “100%” operational By Keng Na Songkhla The troubled automated parking garage at Bali Hai Pier is finally fully operational, nine months after it opened to the public. PATTAYA: -- Pattaya spokesman Pinit Maneerat said June 29 that the 738-million-baht garage has worked out technical problems that limited its capacity since its Oct. 1, 2016 opening and is now fully functional. Using a computerized-elevator system from by Simmatec Robotic of South Korea, the garage offers 417 parking spaces on seven floors. Three hydraulic “transo devices” lift cars into and out of spaces. There are six entrances to the car park, which requires motorists only to drive to a check-in point where the robotic arms lift it to a parking spot. Drivers are charged 30 baht per hour or 300 baht per day for over eight hours. Operator Pattananan Parking Co. has the concession through September 2019.

fforest1 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 1st... It was a crime to build this turd on Pattayas only park.. 2nd ...if they had just built a normal parking garage 100s of millions would have been saved and it would have worked from day #1.. 3rd....Any thing that requires a high level of maintenance is going to be a failure in Thailand...

Emster23 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Did a little math, if correct works out to 1,770,000 baht per parking space..... could get a decent condo for that kind of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little mary sunshine Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 With the lack of preventive maintenance in Thailand I wouldn't trust my motorbike in this garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny1990 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 still seems somewhat misplaced that building there in front of the entrance pier blocking any views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan B Tong Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Honey, lets go for a spin to Pattaya. We can go through the tunnel of love on Sukhumvit and then watch our auto be parked in the robotic garage. I feel blessed to be living here in the land of the boondoggle.

thinkingman Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Is the robot garage still open? Are there other alternatives for secure parking for an overnight trip on Sunday for Koh Larn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there other alternatives for secure parking for an overnight trip on Sunday for Koh Larn? Yes. Leave your car at home, risk life and limb on a moto-taxi to get to the broken down pier. Next, risk life and limb, and pray that the ferry doesn't sink/catch fire. THEN risk life and limb on Koh Larn to get from the pier to the beach on another moto taxi. Repeat the same going home. Moto-dops are normally great folks & good drivers though. ---------------- I recall parking somewhere for free, near Mike shopping mall, spending 10 (well 20) baht to get to the old wooden pier w/ my wife. 2002, prior to the Chinese and Russian invasion. We caught a ferry one day that could have seated 150 people safely. It was me, my wife and a monk for passengers.

thinkingman Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Well, it works! The signage is good, just pull in, the attendants are helpful, set the brake, lock the car and away it goes. Price is OK given convenience and security. i will do it again if I go to Koh Larn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
