I picked up 2 bottles of the stuff today by a company called Boss Lake Hill

165 baht for Pineapple and Rosella (11.5%)

209 baht for 'Herbal' Black Rhizomes and Rosella (11.5%) 

What's the general thoughts around Thai made fruit wine?

Obviously they don't come close to imported real grape wine, but these are surely a better value option than Mont Clair and the rest of the fruit wines which are nearly double the price..

I've tried doing a search on the forum about this particular company but couldn't find anything

can anyone summarise the 1000+ responses to this?

what happens if you don't pay the fine?

see many people say they refused to pay it and seem to have gotten away with it

just remember to carry your passport at all times

even if it's just a short stroll to your local mama papa store

if you like women and alcohol and don't see how it's possible

even if it does it will still be a far more attractive destination than Merkel's Europe

Sounds a bit strange, watch out for those electricity rates. Please let us know how / if they try to rip you off and if they bring in a different member of staff to do it.

will do, I have a slight feeling this has something to do with it

this morning they spoke to me and gave me the option of transferring the deposit to my bank account on Thursday (day i've paid up to) after i've left but it's too late now and i've lost their trust anyway

Normally in serviced apartments, you pay a deposit plus the full month's room rent in advance. Deposit in some of them is refunded to your bank account within 15 days after you leave (after deducting the water & electric bills). Something is still missing from what OP is telling us. 

i'm in a hotel that offers monthly rates, very few people are actually staying here monthly

they've said i'll get back my deposit on the exact date i've paid up to

i will stop using their restaurant now though, as i've had to cancel and rebook my flight

10k Deposit? Hotel? Sounds strange, give more details

I paid 10k for the room for the full month + an additional 10k deposit (where electric/water bills will be deducted from

I thought they wouldn't mind as my room is already paid for and they could be use it for new guests

I paid for 1 months stay at a hotel and gave a 10k deposit

Today I tried to give them 24 hours notice that I would be checking out 3 days earlier than the full month

They've said I have to wait until the full month or they couldn't pay me.

Although this has f***ed up my plans it's lucky I haven't had to leave for an family emergency etc.

Is this normal practice for a hotel? It's very modern, newly built, and in a city centre

it's just random people that are close to your (IP) address

Does going 15 days earlier affect the next date you have to do it?

no chance i'm reading all that
