As someone that has worked in CM and hospitality field 30+ yrs I see pros n cons here.. I was also a Chef for a hiso market at Nim City so i was the only farang working with thais I could not teach them to cook or follow recipes no matter how hard i tried--other issues were quality control--hygiene--food temps and much much more...i quit after 5 months.. 4000 a night--yikes thats my rent for a month in a nice clean studio in city...anyhoo No matter how nice a hotel etc is its the STAFF that makes the exp worthwhile--its the front desk service--housekeeping --chefs--bartender--etc....they are thai and i bet getting paid cr*p.. U get what they pay for---and they seemingly ignore the farang GM, much as they ignored me So would a thai look for these amenities if they got a room? think like a thai...they are the ones basically running things---the GM likely gave up trying to train them as i did after 5 months I think i know the place as u said chang on draft/bar..and others have guessed it too....when the 7-11 is night street over with a cold bottle of chang for 39 bt.....as i bought one today there... You been here awhile? so ....why drink a draft?--is easy way to tweak CO2 tank to get more baht outta you...if i saw 3 of the same drafts i go outside since ur by pantip/ N bazaar and ask how much draft is......i learned this long ago--always ask BEFORE you order here.... Toothbrush etc,,,,,either a lazy maid who turns rooms daily 6 days a week? I ran a BnB and that gets old quick!!! or maybe costing costs during past covid yrs..those amenities add up for a a big hotel with 100s of rooms.....is why they try not to wash towels and sheets daily---$$$$ Also chang...probably got a deal with chang kegs as tourist dont know better and thais are all about thai beer right???.....all tourists want a thai beer they think at $$$ price--(thai minds) eggs....its rare i eat hot food..im used to it..as thais are..they get takeaway and use microwave or reheat......is why i never eat these buffets..they always disappoint.....thais are used to cold food. scrambled-----do u see thais eat scrambled..they are cooking it after all--better off ordering an omelette and thats thai.......reminder..thais i trained to cook never--ever listen to the farang-GM .....also they likely have no system...and they will never say no......i would not be surprised if he forgot how to make them...i couldnt get my guys to make tuna or egg salad correct;y w/recipes front desk---paid how much to work 6 days long shifts and dealing with tourists who expect western service---housekeepers---cooks etc.....all overworked for low wages=service level? Is likely why they cook eggs etc..the one guy aka Chef is in the restaurant keeping an eye out Reviews..I leave them all the time on google maps...and if you think im using my real name on the internet for reviews guess again......go ahead and leave one or call corporate or go on twitter or online......not asking u to identify yourself.....Id call corporate if you are really upset..they listen As devils advocate think like a local thai....most barely understand us...work long hours for low wages..work 6 days a week, have never traveled or left CM and are not aware of western expectations.......and this is why i quit my job working here as a Chef I just could not get thru to my staff and tried to do it all myself.......frustrated x10000.....is easier to just go home to work and come back and live on those $$$$.......so i place blame on both sides..fool me once..shame on them...fool me twice........remember where u are and who exactly is providing the service......
