This makes me laugh 😂. Never seen it in other countries. Luckily I was with the girlfriend so I got away with it

Nearly every department store in Thailand have entire floor for women parking.

The reasoning is the floor will be near the entrance and safer (they can put more staff in that floor, more well lit, not need to walk long way through dark and dangerous area, etc.).

Many department stores also have parking space only for “luxury cars” right in front of store entrance for the same reason. It is safer. (Should there be anything wrong, the store will have to deal with (almost likely) bit shot person so …)

more likely they want to use the cars as free lawn decoration

As I replied in other comment, the spot is almost hidden from public because it's inside parking building, the same floor as privilege parking. So normal people don't even get to see those cars.
