PARKING ADVICE
Tip – if visiting a market in Thailand and you see a parking space very close to the interest do not be tricked into thinking it is a good parking space. I arrived when the market was just being set up so not too many people so got the perfect parking space so I thought!! On my return 15 minutes later there were lots and lots of motorbikes jamming mine in. Managed to do an awful lot of manoeuvring a 5 mins later managed to get it out. But I was one of the lucky ones, some of the bikes beside mine were truly stuck, which got me thinking, what would a Thai person do in this situation. Or would they not get in this situation cause only people who are going to be at the market for a long time would park in such a place or what would they do go back and enjoy the market for a bit longer?

Which reminds me of another incident a few weeks ago. I was at a restaurant with some teachers. When one teacher returned to her car it was blocked in. What did she do? Go to the reception and ask if they could find out whose car it was? No, no that would be very un Thai she waited patiently until the car was moved!!! However long that was!!! I know sounds a bit crazy for the most of you out there with our western out look on life!!!
