    Mr Thanit named the two hotels as the Metadee Phuket in Kata and the Phuket Graceland Resort & Spa in Patong.

    The two hotels bring the total number of guest accommodation venues in Phuket officially approved to serve as ASQs to only four.

    They join the Anantara Mai Khao Phuket and Trisara Phuket Villas and Residences, altogether offering just 469 guest rooms – despite at least 14 hotels in Phuket applying for the privilege

    There is now a total of 7 hotels on Phuket for ASQ, 6 of them at crazy prices.

    The guy was a jerk.  Deport all American jerks I say. (just not me - haha)

    I know other Americans and UK expats and younger people living here who are same way. 

    Some have been here for years and complain about the "standards" of Thailand businesses, wondering why they do not operate on the same level as American or UK establishments for 1/3 the price.   They cannot seem to think rationally or accept reality IMO.  

    The story of this guy sounds like he was acting entitled and superior and just plain argumentative.  No wonder no one at the resort "smiled" at him or were polite

    I you wanna work in the hospitality industry, you must smile also at people you would love to kick in the bolloxx. It's a part of the deal and this management should better work as wardens, if they can't do it. Waving the corkage fee and a free drink on the house, served with a smile and a Wai - case closed and a nice review would have been easily earned.

    Immigration does NOT make policy, they just implement it. If blame someone you must, blame the government.

    Also, it IS easy to live in Thailand if you are a retiree.

     

    Retirees are a drop in the ocean. Families, couples, Western package tourists who spend their usual 2 - 3 weeks in the country are the motor of the tourism industry. And they are deperately needed, long before any others.
