Out of town visitors beware of parking situation when the convention center lot is full. We live several hours away and brought our daughter and some friends to the Nakakon festival. Convention center parking was full so we had to find other parking. After driving around quite a bit my husband pulled into what he now knows was probably a back entrance of a parking lot for a row of what looked like permanently closed businesses. There was a lot of traffic and other cars parked in this lot. Since he was focusing on all the traffic and in an unknown area he did not see the sign warning to not park in the lot. After a long, fun day at the festival, headed back to the truck just to find it had been towed. When he called the tow company number they said they were closing and he would have to wait until they were open again which being a holiday weekend wouldn’t be for three days. Being hours from home, in an unknown area, worried about our epileptic daughter whose medication was in the truck and it was going to be dark soon, he basically begged and offered the tow company any amount of money to bring his truck back. They did, after charging him $400! These out of town tourists feel scammed and have definitely learned our lesson and will remain...

The management is terrible for vendors. They will make you park far far away. They do not have storage for you. If you need to bring more products over, you have to run between your warehouse and the showroom. They make you park far far away. The show manager Marc Gray made me hand-carry all 30 cartons. My booth is on the other side of the showroom. I had to make 30 runs. It’s ok, only 4 miles. The show manager Marc Gray told me I can not use a dolly. That’s for customer safety. In fact, many customers brought a small cart with them. Other workers from the back room used small carts to carry water to the bars. Since I have to hand carry 30 heavy cartons and make 30 runs, the chance I would crash into a customer is higher than if I use a dolly. That’s common sense! Not hard to understand. I went back to the office to try to let Marc Gary know, but he was not there. I told other workers if I accidentally crashed into a customer and case an injury during the hand-carry runs. It is on Marc Gary and the management. I tried...
