Workmen are currently erecting signs on Soi 94 indicating parking on Odd/Even days in future. This will help the snowbirds, giving them a straight run as they wander down Soi 94 4 and 5 abreast
All they need to do now is get rid of those hideous pots placed outside of some establishments forcing people to park 4' from the side of the road.
Well that was a good exercise in keeping workmen employed. I've been on that road a few times since the signs went up, and there's no difference whatsoever.
There is actually a noticeable difference if you go down Chomsin Road,i was asked to move my motor scooter across the road by the staff in Buffalo Tavern,and then realized there were no vehicles outside,Celtic Inn/Jailhouse.The girls in Buff Tavern informed me that the police have checked twice a day since wednesday,and have attempted to fine several farang 200 baht,pointing to the new signs,stating odd/even!!!
Yes, but the police had to start doing their job before anybody started taking notice. I doubt there are enough police willing to work in Hua Hin to enforce the signs they are putting up.
It's a shame because they always find plenty to man the tea money revenue points, and there are plenty to create what appear to be illegal roadblocks late at night.
They are posted on Soi 94. I went for breakfast at Nit's and the obvious place to park is opposite by the wall. However, 'No Parking Odd Days' and today being the 5th!! Parking on the opposite side is not an option as people living there have their cars parked 'nose in' to their front doors. Consequently, I had to park in one of the sois around the corner. It really hasn't been thought out as usual.
Sign or no sign,they are still being adhered to in Chomsin road as of this morning,with traffic police giving tickets to motor scooter as well as the 1 random car parked on the wrong side.It will be interesting to see what occurs over this holiday weekend,Needless to say most people will not venture into the town,unless necessary.
Changing the subject,i believe all bars will either be closed,or no alcohol tomorrow,,,,,,,not a great location to be in for the final rugby test!!!
