1,000 baht was a rip off

there not suppose to be "fine" for losing key card. 

It was not deliberate action, not her fault.

There might be replacement costs. But not making profit for the business. They have already made money by renting room.

Probably it would be wiser not to report lost card and just walk out from hotel, without saying anything.

Once I have lost hotel key card and fearing penalty charges I just walked out. I won't be able to come back there for sometimes, probably a year or two. In that hotel there was a laminated price list for every item in the room, in case of replacement. Key card was not listed there.

Does the Indian man have a work permit to run his hotel?

Just a thought.

he is even employing thai staff.

So he has work permit, owns property, runs his multiple businesses.

If he hadn't got work permit, he would not report this accident to police but just went to hospital

Most hotels I have stayed in require a key deposit when checking in

200-500 baht so you know the cost up front, luckily so far I have never lost the key or receipt. If going out to bars etc at night I leave my key at reception.

AM so yes it is morning 00.01am untill 12.01pm then it is after-noon.???? well thats what I remember from grade one at infant school.

Just after midnight can be considered morning. It is the start of a new day after all. 

yes, some hotels do take key deposit. 

Key card replacement might be even cheaper, than metal key. Most probably hotel has many replacements and can even make them onsite, so not paying for outside service.

That my particular hotel never took deposits, I had stayed with them many times previously. They haven't put key card on lost/damaged items list. So probably it was not an issue for them. They haven't called me back on my mobile.

 

once stayed in a place and they DIDN'T give me the small little token that opens up doors.  I asked them, "How can I open the front door?"  "Oh, you don't need that this week."  "OK, but remember you never gave me one."   "OK, OK, ok, ok , ok..........

 

check out.   "Where is your ...............??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!"   Of course, of course.   Wanted to charge me, but didn't.

 

one place tried to charge 100 baht every time you locked your keys in your room, but then the residents would say, "Move out today!!!!!"     They swiftly provided the service for free.

 

losing keys is part of the LOS experience.....................being attacked?  not so much.

There is NO   0.01 AM.  12:01 p.m. is fine, but you can't mix with military time!!!! NO NO NO.  lol

 

If you want to use 0.00 then you DON'T need the AM or PM, that's why there is military time.

 

Back to "infant" school for you!!!!!!!

 

and no sleep time!!!!!!  

Angry hotel tenant attacks Indian owner over having to pay for new key card in Pattaya
By Tanakorn Panyadee

 

 

Pattaya — An unnamed female tenant allegedly attacked an Indian landlord over having to pay 1,000 baht for a new key card that she lost.

The salty tenant escaped an incident scene at the Honest Room Hotel in Pattaya immediately after allegedly hitting the 53-year-old Indian landlord, Mr. Hitesh Harivadan Shan, in the face with a metal hand sanitizer stand.

 

The blow left a long wound on Mr. Hitesh’s face, which was mended by Sawang Boriboon rescue workers who arrived at the hotel later around midnight today, October 15th.

Living in a Moobaan which has just introduced smart gate cards (way more expensive than hotel key cards), I can honestly say they cost 300bht each, therefor the much cheaper door cards should not cost more than 150bht to replace.

Presumably people lose card when outside of room. So what happens to your stuff.

If it's midnight and dark I'll always consider it night, not morning. The clue is in the word - midnight (middle of the night). No big deal.

But it is the start of a new day, so after midnight, it can be considered the morning. Mornings can be dark as well. 

 

As in 00.01 AM- the clue is in the AM…

 

I do agree however that it isn’t a big deal. 

฿1000 is greedy.  The common re-writable 125kHz RFID cards are around ฿150 - 200 for a pack of ten.  So no more than about ฿20 each. 

Crazy as  loons the lot of them!

I see "indian,"  I click. But I don't always read the article. ????

Many Indians here are Thai citizens, having come over as kids, and some have been here for generations. He is likely either a Thai now, or he has a work permit, to be able to hire employees, report a crime, etc. 

Luckily she didn`t pinch his gold necklace............????

 

Never mind the lost card fee or whether he had a work permit. Will you look at that nasty gash on his face. Whoever did that needs to be caught and punished.

Honestly she hit me in the face with a temperature stand at the honest room and I'm wearing a genuine honest Armani tee shirt ????

Many years ago I 'lost' the key to my safe at a Bangkok hotel, so I paid 800 Baht for a new one. About 2 years later I found the original key in the lining of my hand-carry bag where I had 'hidden' it!????

in my case I took key card with me, when going out, but my friend was in the room asleep. I needed the very same card for hotel entry, as reception was not manned at night.

Lucky we were departing the next day. 

Possibly that lady had not any or very little valuables left in the room. So when money was demanded from her on return, she walked/run away.

Overall, bad publicity for the owner. He might lose many clients for his hotel, as well as restaurant

No, apparently the emergency services 'mended' it.????????

God my ribs ache this is the thread of the week as I wonder if she was wearing a mask as she wielded the temperature stand ???? 

She was a drunk, irresponsible in losing her key card and physically assaults a person…

 

may she take a bath in the ocean as nature always bats last….
