There is 2 different booking numbers
I'm awaiting Agoda response and I want to see the manager in Australia when I get back

Depends if your mistake of double booking caused the hotel to reserve 2 rooms, if so you won't get a refund as 2 rooms were reserved
You know what , I think I did that
The silly app , circling around forever I think I clicked it again
Can I dispute this with the Qantas card company?

Probably...
You can check in three ways
1) Log into your Agoda Account on your Laptop and look at the booking confirmation.
2) Use your Agoda App on your phone and confirm and look at the booking confirmation.
3) Open your E-mail and look at the booking confirmation e-mail.
Any of these will tell you exactly what you booked at the time.
Yes Richard
It seems there are TWO bookings a minute apart
I spoke to the Thai owners earlier on as this place has 6 rooms and they're all full so it can't be a two room booking unless ...they rented out the room I double booked?
They told me contact Agoda ,lucky Harris had given me their email,it's 890 baht I'm losing
I want to talk to the CEO of Agoda !!

I'm just wondering if I should contact this Qantas pay card mob ?
Can they do anything?

booking-related issues, such as amendments, cancellations, guest contacts, and refunds, pleasend provide the Agoda Booking ID.
Thankyou Harris,your the only one that cares !
I will try to email them with the booking number hopefully I will get someone who understands
What if I contact this Qantas Pay debit card ,can I lodge a disputed transaction,is that possible?
Will they stop my card ?
I will have to call them in Australia I guess

Call Qantas?
You think so ?
I think it's a MasterCard though
What's this dispute thing ,do I need to cancel the card
But I think I pressed the AGODA button twice perhaps creating two bookings ,
Do something!!!

I can't find the right forum so as I'm in Pattaya now I will post it here
So here goes , I look on this Agoda today for a room ,I find a room for 889baht ...it's in a guesthouse
I turn up at the guest house owned by Thai people
I noticed on my Qantas Pay card app there are not one 889 baht but two transactions
I immediately message Agoda ,a robot tells me the booking is non refundable, it's double booked me I said back
It hangs up my message
I go to see the Thai owners downstairs,
I tell them are 2 transaction in my Qantas pay card ,they say we can't do anything you must contact Agoda !!
He said I must of pressed the Agoda button twice creating two bookings !!!
I tell them I will have to contact Qantas pay card ?
Buts it's a number in Australia
So I paid ,2 times for one room !!!!
Can someone tell me what do you do ???
I have no idea ,will I get that second transaction back ,how do I do this with the card Qantas ??
Do I need to go to my local Member of Parliament when I get back to Australia?
I'm thinking of phoning the Australian police on Agoda !!

After reading, I understand you have a big problem with, and living in, Thailand, George. However, most of us living here, we learned how things work quite quickly and know what we have to do or adjust to. Seems to me, it would be better for you, to ask for moderation on your headline. It should be I have to change and not directed at other members. Cheers!
Your the one who has to change!
Upteen sick days ,won't work in your life , please !
And then you have the audacity to tell me omg

Brit probably got a bit lippy with the Thais.
And got a fat lip.
It amazes me how some farangs, and especially us Brits, think they can talk down and yell at the locals without any consequences.The guy from Buzzin Lounge does it

I've never had problems with Indians, only mainland Chinese. A queue seems to mean nothing to them. I refuse to make a scene because I will always be the loser in these situations.
Yes don't put up with being made a loser
Put your foot down,even stamp it up & down
At least your making an effort

What are the best restaurants in each city?
Best restaurants are based on personal opinion....but apparently there is a cheap type thai restaurant in Bangkok that charges something like $200 for a Thai dish and they have people lining up outside

Funny, this type of thing never happens to me, or if it has I can't remember and likely got over it fast (people cutting in line etc). There's a time and place for having big balls, but this stuff is best let go, or perhaps leave the ego at home.
That's because your submissive
You love it how they use & abuse you , and you will grow up love it
You become acclimatised to it where even at your workplace you said to the boss yes sir ,how high do you want me to jump ?
You let your work colleagues walk over you Dave ,you know you did ,they done shift changes late and you never noticed
Grow some balls darl !
Not this little black duck

I am sure after your last visit to Pattaya ,you said the place is crap and you
would never return , but here you are again ,what keeps drawing you George
I have lived in Thailand 37 years and have never been to Pattaya , but have been all
around Thailand .
regards Worgeordie
I'm sick of it
You have to have your guard up
Different cultures etc will use & abuse you
There's no niceties , even getting on the baht bus I noticed people jumping on first to get a seat in front of elderly people so now I am doing the same thing !
Nasty George ,you have to change.

I worked out this week I would have to change personalities if I was going to retire here in Pattaya in particular.
The "phasing " in of change happens after a few days of your personality where you have to be mentally stronger to survive in this urban jungle
I will give you a few examples
I go into a 711 unlike Australia people particularly from a indian background don't wait in line and push in front of you ( oh please don't be racist there's no need to mention nationality please !)
So here I am waiting more than 5 minutes in line holding bottles of water next to be served when a indian young girl and her I presume indian bf just walk past me to the counter
I immediately said my favourite saying *not this little black duck !
"Hey I'm next " and with that the girl replied "we think it's ok 'she said
I laughed in her face "not this little black duck sweetheart !!!" I said
They immediately went behind me (in front of an old farang man who said nuthin)
So here unlike Australia I have to become mean George ,nasty George!
Confidence, eyes out !
Another saying I like and I have screenshot it to put it as wallpaper on my phone is
"what do I get out of it " !??
Yesterday morning I'm staying in a farang hotel in Pattaya,paid cash to this 8 bedroom or 6 bedroom hotel ( oh who cares about rooms)
Anyway check out is 12pm right
The farang owner knocks on my door
"George ,George I need you to vacate this room by 9am
I have a regular farang coming from Bangkok and he is arriving early ,he needs the room
I look at him , "so what do I get out of it "??
showing him my phone's screenshot
He thinks I'm joking and laughs ,he said I have another room I can move you into if you want to stay another night but it has no balcony "
I said"I'm leaving today !
He said, "can you leave by 9am ,Old Frank is arriving and he asked if you could vacate the room so he can go in"
I looked at him straight in the face and said "tell old Frank Not this little black duck !
What am I getting out of it ?
you see how I used two of my favourite sayings in one sentence to him ,
I sat in the room waiting to the minute of 12pm before I walked downstairs ,
I saw old Frank with his walking stick sitting in the bar downstairs,with luggage bag nearby
looking at me angry
,I smiled as I walked past both the owner and Frank ,I felt like I stood up to myself and proud
I was tempted to say my 2 sayings again to him but they both didn't talk to me
So you see ,living here you have to CHANGE.its not Kansas Dorothy ,here people will use you & abuse you if you let them.walk over you like a bitch , stamp on you
You have to grow a set of balls
More examples and please stop interrupting me ,dont be rude
And how do you like this one
I'm sitting in a beer bar ,watching people going past ,relaxing enjoying the lower class of people watching .....when a Thai waiter asks me to move my drinks etc to the back away from the front
Why ? Why ? You may ask ...a regular customer always sits there
Oh ? I said ,so I must leave the front table and go sit in the back to let whatever the guys name is sit in my seat so...he can people watch and I have to stare at the wall ?
WHAT DO I GET OUT OF IT ?
I showed the farang the screenshot of one of my sayings
couldn't show the Thai waitress she would have no idea what it meant
Is he going to pay for my drink ?
NO ?
Give me absolutely nothing , probably wouldn't even say thankyou
I immediately got my phone out to him and showed him the wallpaper
NOT THIS LITTLE BLACK DUCK !!!
