Today, we ordered taxi service to go from Life Ratchadapisek to Suvernabuni airport (AOT Taxi). We asked the driver to drive around the condo and pick us up at the side of the building, because we had a few very heavy bags.
When we wanted to leave, the guard refused to open the gate. He told us that we had to put a stamp on the parking ticket. He told us that we had to go back to our room, and put a stemp on the ticket, and then come back to show him the parking ticket with the stamp.
We explained to the guard that this is just a taxi picking us up, not a visitor parking for a long time. But the guard still refused to open the gate. We told the guard that we did not have time to go back to the room to put the stamp and we did not want to miss our flight. We offered to put our name and our signature on the parking ticket. But he refused that also.
In the end, we had no choice: we paid the guard 100 Baht to open the gate. We asked for a receipt, but the guard refused to give a receipt for the 100 Baht we paid to him.
1. The taxi was just there to pick us up, the taxi did not use the parking of the building
2. The guard refused accept our name, signature and unit number as an alternative to the stamp
3. The guard just took the money and did not give us a receipt for the 100 Baht that we paid to him
