Popular Post Sparktrader Posted October 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2022 Changed hotels today. 550 baht to 800 baht cause November they said. Lost me a repeat customer. Found one 470 baht near dentist i visit. Oh well saved money, had a walk. Found a new hotel. If only they knew how to bargain. Thai culture is bargaining, still they have no clue. Smiled said thank you. During low season they will be broke again. Good. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fat is a type of crazy Posted October 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2022 Cheap hotel beforehand. Probably every prebooking for November charged 800. They know how many bookings they have coming up. November less rain and more sunshine and customers. Gotta go up some time for high season. Harsh to criticise them just for doing what's normal. If found a better deal then all good. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it abysmal the world over when people are trying to grab the coin they can. I have watched as prices were increased here because they had fewer patrons in restaurants instead of lowering them to bring in more folks which would cover the difference. However, I have never had an issue in any of the Hotels we have booked or stayed at here in Thailand when we travel.

Yes renting a room for the month is always a cheaper way to go, but many do not want to base themselves out of one room and then travel. I did when I first came to Thailand, it was way cheaper in the end and I always had a base to travel from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Take the bus mate. Then the train up to PKK. Ban Krut is a highly tourist destination for thai tourists arriving by group buses. So this haven of tranquility with its long beach, the mountains with a golden-roofed Wat Tang Sai temple with its huge Buddha of the same brightness, completely changes on weekends and thai holidays.

Popular Post Lacessit Posted October 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2022 The OP was paying 16,500 baht/month for a room without a kitchen, changed to one costing 14,100. Calculated on a 30 day/month basis. Most condos will rent by the month, usually apartments are bigger and better equipped. Power and water is usually about 600 - 800 baht/month. I can rent a condo in Jomtien or Pattaya for 10,000 baht/month, even less in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. The OP is talking about Thai business sense? LOL. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be in one of them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
