Just do what Mr. Bean did push a car out of a space to make way for yours

You will likely have to push one out of the way to get out later too.

Not if you know the shortcuts wink wink 

Yeah, I know some of the short cuts.  But the way they take 2 full lanes there to turn right...really messes up traffic.  Down to only one lane at times.  The Baht buses are the worst!!! LOL

Protect cars during floods and not do proper drainage ok I guess I’m in with a 9 story monstrosity , maybe more parking in Pattaya and busses will. Rule the streets

Very surprised they are investing more at this time.

yes there is.  Remember the traffic jams  pre covid?  They will be  back at some point then try to get to their new fancy parking tower and out again. I will say it again Terminal 21 was built in the wrong place it was and is a massive white elephant, just more so now. . 

    If it was causing 'traffic jams' getting in and out of it then I suspect the T21 company is thinking it was built in just the right place.

     Which actually makes it even more popular.  Possibly not for you but lots of people like to go somewhere that is attracting lots of other people to go there, too.

Yep, that Yogi Berra quote seems rather apt. 'No one goes there nowadays. It's too crowded.'

As l state on another post. This is all in line with the upcoming transformation. The bar girls will be washing dishes

Eventually.  It must be the worst designed car-park in the world, not helped by the pretentious hotel there commandeering whole floors of parking spaces for their paltry few  customers.

That is nice. Free parking. Good idea.
 

Let’s see how ways this forum will turn it into something negative.
 

12 so far.

It is whether you think the construction is a good idea or not and one should see the disadvantages. It will not help traffic in that area, and is going to be an eyesore and block the view. T21 itself has turned one of the easier routes into town more difficult with another unnecessary shopping Mall. 

Will it make traffic easier during events like the fireworks or music festival, to a very limited degree I expect. But getting out of that multi story will not be easy, the roads in that area get  choked every event. If it is such a good idea, a pity they didn't have it when they built the place. And why is a train service planned and more parking?

 

Let us look at the other roaring success, Bali Hai and the car park there!

The "ladies only" level works for me. I jump out on approach and leave the wife to park up. Always spaces there.

haha, a stupid idea in these days of Covid.  Come to think of it, its a stupid idea at anytime.  I hate crowds, as you can probably tell. .
