Good for him! These ignorant bar stewards need more people to do that. Twice in the last week I have had cars parked BLOCKING the disabled bays. Just about every time that I go to a supermarket I see it. Earlier this year I was attacked by a young bitch because I objected to her parking in a disabled bay. Ended up at the police station where a senior cop told her to piss off!

Pickup truck window smashed for parking in disabled zone
https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/ge ... abled-zone
A man broke a window of a pickup truck after he saw an apparently able-bodied man park the vehicle in a spot reserved for the disabled at a megastore in Chiang Rai on Saturday night.
A man identified on his Facebook account as Peerapong Amornpich posted a message with a video clip on Saturday, saying he decided to smash a window of the pickup truck parked in a spot reserved for the disabled at Big C Chiang Rai 2 in Muang district to teach the driver a lesson.
Mr Peerapong wrote on the social media site that he saw two people emerge from the vehicle, neither of who were disabled. He wrote that he was unable to chase after them because he was with his family.
Mr Peerapong, whose Facebook profile identifies him as managing director of Peerawong Corporation Ltd, asked the shopping centre to make a public announcement that the driver had parked in the wrong area.
After having a meal with his family, Mr Peerapong returned to the same location and on finding the vehicle was still there, decided to smash one of the windows.
"I have attacked a car because the driver, who was not disabled, parked in a spot for the disabled," he wrote. "I am ready to pay for the damage, but I could not just let this happen to Thai society while I did nothing."
When the driver and a woman returned to the truck, Mr Peerapong was waiting for them to explain his actions and take financial responsibility for them.
The driver defended himself by saying he had not seen the sign designating the spot for the disabled. "I apologised," he said. "But why couldn't we have settled the problem by talking?"
The driver said he did not hear the public announcement asking him to move his vehicle, but Mr Peerapong and a Big C staff member insisted the announcement had been made.
The issue was settled when Mr Peerapong agreed to pay the driver 10,000 baht at a police station.
A search on his company's website showed Peeraong Corporation Ltd's business includes e-commerce and construction.
Accessibility Is Freedom, a website campaigning for the disabled, on Sunday said the incident should be a "wake-up call" for all agencies and venues to pay serious attention to parking spaces and other facilities for the disabled in the country.
But the group said it opposed the use of violence as a means to raise awareness of the rights of the disabled.

Laws, rules, and regulations are superfluous without tools to enforce them.
This seems to be especially true for Thailand. People don't give a hoot, and
their negligence has no consequence.

Re: Pickup truck window smashed for parking in disabled zone
Laws, rules, and regulations should only be made if there are remedies to enforce them.
Many people don't give a hoot if the chance of getting caught is near non-existent.
Example: The Thai Traffic Law (yes, there is apparently one).

Silly me, although I was appalled by the take-over of the govt by the military I thought--Well at least now the laws will be enforced.
