Woman hit with THB6.6 million parking fee after leaving car for 2 hours

THURSDAY, JANUARY 05, 2023

A woman who parked her car at a shopping mall in Nonthaburi was shocked to find a demand for 6.5 million baht in parking fees when she returned two hours later.

The motorist shared her ordeal via Facebook under her username, Popgoh Queen.

Her post contains a photo of the mall’s parking fee collection machine displaying the amount she owes as 6,574,590 baht.

A staff member manning the parking fee booth was no less astonished to see the whopping fee, and politely asked the woman to wait for a supervisor to clear things up.

According to her post, the woman arrived at the shopping mall at 9am and parked her car before returning at 11am.

A supervisor eventually turned up at the car park, checked the machine and diagnosed a glitch in the system.

The supervisor apologised and let her leave without paying a parking fee.

The poster said she would not be taking legal action against the mall as her ordeal had made a funny story to share on social media.
