It is recommended that you not park beside any sidewalk in Thonglor and Ekkamai area from 4 PM- 8 PM in order to avoid a parking fine worth 700 THB. Some sidewalks may allow you to park for a certain period of time of the day, but as the traffic rules vary according to the local police authority and no clear-cut announcement is made public, it is better to park at the proper building or space that offers legitimate parking service.
