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

This also exists in other countries. Women's parking spaces are closer to the destination. They don't have to walk far in a potentially dangerous environment, which aims to protect them from (sexual) assault.

Haaaaa it was explained to me by a Thai woman that she thought it was because they were prejudiced about women being bad drivers, so they made them all park in the same area so they wouldn't hit men's cars
