It was a silly comment referring to an earlier comment by the guy claiming I would be working for HotelQuickly just because I was advocating their superiority. No deeper meaning

Is that the reason why yet again you mention full name of a start up company with hardly any suppliers?

You mentioned the other company (with no price filter, no price sorting, double pricing, and false "best price" claims) about 30 times in this thread. Your point?

So are you saying the 2 examples given the hotel have specified Thai language site 100 baht cheaper. Seems strange hotels would specify that and Agoda would set up a system to accommodate that.

Yes, hotels set prices and target markets. With Agoda , hotels can chose to block out regions as well as set different prices or promotions.

Nothing strange at all. Some want to attract locals, some do not want to have middle eastern and set their prices and promotions accordingly

You must be working for Agoda, in fact, they have an employee called your name!

Or i have little more than a peanut for brain

This was the first funny joke of yours! Congrats!

Why must he be working for Agoda simply because what he says is true?

What a lot of hot air and irrelevant woffle! If Company A is trying to sell you something at a higher price than Company B, C, D or X, then you only have yourself to blame if you accept the deal. Yes, Agoda is a bit sneaky in that they don't reveal the final price to be paid until you are on the final run in - but you can still cancel before you accept it. Equally, their 'lowest price' gurantee is probably valid - until you add on the 10% and 7%. The anwer is simple; if you don't like them, go elsewhere.

What you say is of course correct, it is the free market system.

If a seller is too expensive, inefficient, greedy, bad mannered, you buy from a different seller, that will sort him out...

However, there is another equally important aspect of free markets: information.

No information = no free market, but rather Wild West market!

Especially Big Busines does not like that part of the free market filosofy!

Therefore, a tread like this one is very usefull.

And, unrelated to the above, I have never understood why some posters seem to enjoy being rude.

The best example of Wild West is a thread like this, with the starting OP nothing at all true in it, but still believed by quite a few members judging by their answers anyway.

So this is how you get to your post count? Just calling others liars without even looking into it? Get a job, bro

omg there is just no respect on this forum. also the reason why I am usually not wasting my time on forums (and the reason why I only have a few posts on my count). you guys seem to know me better than I know myself, which is enlightening.

I shared my finding in an expat forum, as it's expats that get screwed. you don't even have to comment it, just take it as an FYI and move on.

haha good one. means you work for agoda? or for the ministry of humorism?

If i worked for Agoda, this thread would have been closed already and you would have been charged and most likely arrested.

Funny thing is, your name here is Christian, and so it happens co founder of your hotel quicky is also named Christian,

I should meet the guy, I like him already

I would have been charged and most likely arrested? Interesting

Hong Kong laws are not the same i guess, keep it up, good start for a company trying to defame a giant. I am sure you will do well

Why don't you send them an email then? I'm sure they're happy to get your feedback. (On a personal note: I'm working for an insurance, based in BKK)

Knowing Thailand you would never book in advance, you just go where you like to go and find a nice place to stay. Thais do it, why you don't?

Yeah that's what I'm doing now, too, using HotelQuickly. And @whoisyourdaddy - I am of course aware that agoda and booking.com both belong to priceline. And yes, rate parity agreements is also nothing new to me (which is the reason for their "best price guarantee") Still, HotelQuickly is cheaper in every single hotel that I checked, so I guess it's not worth that much.. Still, when I'm trying to pre-book a hotel I have to rely on a website and it just p1sses me off to be cheated by a stock-listed company

It's worth mentioning there are a lot of tight people on here

Hey it's no joking matter. There is $2-$3 dollar price difference, its the scam of the year

I travel often, so it does make a difference. And calculate it on agoda's overall booking volume, it must make 100s of thousands of $$ per year by cheating EN speakers

Send them an email I doubt any fcuks will be given

HAHAHA good one. as if agoda would have a good customer service

I had issues 2x (misbooking by agoda) and both times no action was taken when i complained..

I would book in TH (and I would have booked in TH in the past, too), but I didn't know! Agoda is just trying to make more money off foreigners. Farang prices, doesn't even stop with large companies like Agoda

I recently compared prices on Agoda in TH vs EN and realized that English speakers usually pay more!! <deleted>!

Reason enough not to book through them anymore. I am a member of HotelQuickly and I wouldn't want to miss that app, so much cheaper than anything on Agoda (even cheaper than their TH price haha)

Wow thai dl for flights? so it was worth the hustle at the dept of land transport

very nice!! thanks for sharing

suthep is just seeking allied forces and hopes to find them in the police corp..
