Kenchamp Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I think if the OP actually did some shopping there and was then "fined" by overzelous, gloating car park attendants for either not spending enough or as i read it being 3 minutes over the alloted shopping time, then he has a point. Not that i use that shop very often, but i was unaware of a time/spending limit being in operation there. As for the amount of fine, i would be very suprised if it was only 5 baht.

I think they charge 20 or 40 baht per hour after initial free period. but if you shop and have your parking ticket stamped , then it’s free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no limit on how much you must spend , as long as your parking ticket is stamped then it’s free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygrr Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 It's not a fine but a parking fee if you shop there and get a stamped receipt you get free parking for a more than an adequate time. Problem on a Tuesday and Friday people think they can park for hours why they walk around the market over the road. Tough titty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A one time fee of 5 b , would they really post this, i don’t think so , but a significant amount like 20b would send you over the top, 5555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifbel Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Did the OP leave a tip as well? A 1 baht tip on 5 baht bill is 20%. If you want to impress people, you better leave an extra 2 baht or 40%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be bothered to answer all the idiotic, losers who have nothing better to do than make worthless comments on Thaivisa because their lives are so dull and boring that the highlight of their day is getting pats on the back for stupid comments on forums. But for you.. I did shop in friendship and my items came to about 133baht. During the course of my visit to friendship i bumped into a couple of friends who were sitting outside and we had a good chat. I then went shopping, came out and gave one of the Thais my parking reciept. I then got on my bike and he came over and said i had to pay a parking fee. He told me that i had been parked more than the allowed 20 minutes and that because my till reciept was under 150baht, i would have to pay for parking and that the rules were on the back of the parking reciept. The unsavoury part about it for me was that all of a sudden i was arguing with 4 of them and knowing Thais, things could have turned nasty So make of it what you will.

I will make a wild guess and say that you weren't actually fined. I know the Friendship parking lot can also be used by non-customers for a parking fee. So my guess is that Friendship waives the parking fee if purchases exceed 150 baht, otherwise the parking fee applies. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shopped there but avcordong to the rules, exeeded my 20 minute parking time given while not spwnding enough money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
