Can you park a motirbike at the street overnight?
We rented a scooter and we usually park at in front of the 7 eleven on the other side of the street, where there are cars parked also overnight.
However today when we arrived there were car… Hey all.
We rented a scooter and we usually park at in front of the 7 eleven on the other side of the street, where there are cars parked also overnight.
However today when we arrived there were cars and other bikes parked in front of our hostel, which is on the right side of the road (while the 7 eleven is at the left) so we decided to park it there.
We went out for dinner and we saw that there's no bikes or cars parked anymore on the right side but cars and bikes on the left side.
So the question is obvious, will we have a problem or the bike removed overnight? There are also traffic cones on the side of the road3. Does that mean we need to remove it?
We are in a street near Khao san road if that helps
Thank you.
yeah the traffic cones are the giveaway, that right side is prob a no-parking zone after a certain hour. near khao san road the street sweepers come through pretty early, like 5am, and they'll tow anything in their way. the left side with the 7-eleven is safer since it's more of a permanent parking spot for locals. my friend parked his bike on the wrong side near soi rambuttri once and woke up to a 500 baht ticket, not worth the risk. just move it to the left before you crash, you'll sleep better
You're probably fine overnight in that area, but the traffic cones mean street sweeping or a morning market setup -- they clear that side for a reason. Near Khao San, the police do ticket or tow bikes that block those spots by 5 or 6am. If you see other bikes parked on the left side consistently, I'd move yours over there before bed just to avoid the hassle.
honestly id just move it to the left side where the cars and bikes are, that right side prob gets cleared for street cleaning or vendors in the morning. near khao san they dont mess around with blocking the sweepers, you might wake up to a ticket or it gone
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.
for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.
honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
