Can't comment on the carpark across from the Ford dealer, but I will say that there seems to have been some planning about Mc Donalds, but perhaps it could have been better. It seems to be set up to maximize exposure to traffic (or maximize access) but the sheer number of vehicles entering their parking lot and drive through must have been a surprise to even the most astute planners.

I don't pass it often, but have never seen a car enter/exit. My guess is it'll never be used. Anyone have any firsthand experience?
Is this the one near Decor's Choice ? Its certainly near the fountain circle.
The entrance is like going up a 1 in 2 and then a right turn at the top where it narrows !!!
I,too,have never seen a vehicle go into it.If you have a pick up with a poor steering turn I'd think it would be impossible to get in given the gradient and sharp right turn into a cramped area.

...the way some folks do business here makes me wonder if they have a plan or just have money.
While many westerners are quick to bump up their income, I'm convinced many Thais intentionally understate theirs. It's often very useful in a "richest guy buys" environment.

It is the one across from Decor's Choice. So the thing that has me befuddled about that car park is, how could anyone design/build such a big place without properly designing the ramps?
