plahgat Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I forgot to give back my room key once when I checked out of a hotel in Korat. Being a good man I later put the key in an envelope and sent it back to the hotel via mail thinking everything was ok! A year later I returned to the same hotel and the cleaningwoman immediately confronted me and accused me of not giving back the key, and said she was blamed for the loss and was fined 50 baht by the hotelmanagement, and demanded me to pay her back... which I did! ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhonchai nick Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 If the woman rented a room, surely she would have provided her ID card, and particulars or a copy taken. No problem finding her then! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Just call it dark-o-clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!!!!!!

mjakob007 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hilarious comments indeed... report is about an indian who got hurt from an act of rage.. - did he have a work permit? didn't realise he needed one to get whacked on his face with a temperature stand... - his price of 1000 for the card was outrageous! well its not a price regulated item (not similar to pharma or pork) in this jurisdiction. so its 'upto him'.... as we all know, any exceptional charges (outside the norm) are not regulated in most consumer scenarios... when we buy an airline ticket, the price is mostly competetive, however, if we want it changed to another date, we are at the airlines' mercy.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, based on the comments in this thread, the business of the big hand and the small hand remain a mystery to several people. The discussion dealing with hotel room keys also implies another bridge too far for a few posters. Deposits for room keys?? Do they also check to make sure the beds and curtains haven’t gone missing in these establishments? Edited October 15, 2022 by Suradit69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andycoops Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 5 hours ago, internationalism said: 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. It is common practice in hotels that if you lose your key card, you pay for a replacement. It's also why many hotels ask for a returnable deposit upon checking in against any damages. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the poster to whom I was responding, he used the term "military time" but, having said that, it is a term that can be used. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
