Question 1: Does it matter? (....to the vast majority of people, and in particular to the stranded tourists that are helped out).

 

Question 2: Very clearly detailed in the linked article so I know - but I'm not telling you.

 

Once again, a positive piece of news is rubbished by some bitter and cynical TVF contributors.

 

 

 

If my memory serves me, the Dara Hotel is owned/managed by govt agency

It's a fair question in this land of corruption and nepotism.

As someone giving his guests free accommodation for a month, LIK is quite entitled to ask the question without some dick calling him bitter and cynical!

 

Is the Patong Bay Inn part of the stable of Patong Bay hotels owned by the family?

Indeed it is.  

 

On another note, the prices being charged are quite reasonable.  Not sure why Koh Siray is so popular though.

650 baht for one person, or 800 baht for two, including full board, i.e. three meals a day, sounds amazingly cheap; wow...????
