Summary
A UK traveler got slapped with a surprise £52 fine and a clamped car in Thailand for parking facing the wrong way—something she didn’t know was illegal. Turns out, she’s actually a local business owner in Phuket, and now she’s warning Brits to research foreign parking rules before renting a car. The fine? 2,000 baht. The kicker? The same rule exists in the UK (Highway Code 239), though rarely enforced—breaking it could cost you up to £1,000 back home. Lesson? Always check local laws—even parking can trip you up abroad.
