  1. Notorious Airbnb Host Charged with Allegedly Running $8.5M Nationwide Scam Shray Goel is charged with running an Airbnb scam across 100 U.S. properties. https://www.vice.com/.../shray-goel-charged-airbnb-scam
  2. A few of these guys with multiple units are going under I read about 2 today, one with 12 units the other one I think about 150 units, this is America,
  3. I even logged into my account, they don't make it easy to contact them
  4. I tried searching their site I cant see any links and their customer service is not very good, unlike Airbnb they give you a link to look at, https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/3290
  5. You can use Airbnb and set the minimum stay to 30 days, and if you do MTR or LTR then the tenant pays all the bills but you have to state that in your listing details and make the tenant aware from the beginning, then add a security deposit normally 2 months upfront,
  6. If you are thinking to buy a apartment it has to be something unique, too many of these condo's are just like boxes nothing to give you the WOW factor. I have looked at a few units in Rawai, they do nothing for me, Another thing to consider is the size of the unit guest on airbnb like some space,
  7. I can only speak for Phuket, people do get arrested and banged up, the police had quite a few check points around, Last year I know a guy (Thai) got stopped one night in Chalong he was over the limit he had a choice pay 40,000 baht at the roadside or go to jail and court in the morning, he said he will go to court in the morning, he got fined 5000 baht,
  8. I cant say Ive read to many Russian novels but I did read that on back in the day The Gulag Archipelago and a couple of others,
  9. No problem I have my Thai family and friends and a few Ladyboys
  10. Okay they reduce the tax but will they reduce the price? I think not
  11. I don't have a one Farang friend I don't need them and don't want one, I have a great wife and fairly big family and they are all good to me never has one asked for money, quite the opposite when they come to visit us here in Phuket they never come empty handed.
  12. I always used to say that "Been here for two weeks" and speak German
  13. You can as a neighbour complain to Airbnb if that's where the guest are coming from, I guess it would be difficult to knw which platform they used there is so many, Did you take a look on Airbnb to see if units similar to your are listed?
  14. I think here in this post we are talking about Russians in Phuket and Pattaya, I have been told from a well connected Thai it's even worse in Chiang Mai, but not just Russians also the Chinese, my friend told me they have built Chinese schools up there,
  15. Dont forget Agoda dont just do hotels they now do villas and apartments just like Airbnb https://www.agoda.com/villas/?cid=1844104&ds=i9nSVfeeTtRPeiiE
  16. No mention of a hotel in Hua Hin unless they have sold it,
  17. I think booking.com has to be the worst, 10 days after the guest has checked out,
  18. Did you book through the owner direct or through a online platform like booking.com?
