We have discovered a new hotel on Ngam Wong Wahn for only 800. Would be 1500 or more on Sukhumvit. Not long opened, decent car park and garden, restaurant , nice furniture , netflix , soft beds etc. Wont last long at this rate now that tourism is picking up.

Did the receptionist talk to any staff, e.g. to go and check your room, if that is the case, perhaps the staff member was wearing a camera or was showing the room to reception via a mobile app ? Hotels cannot have cameras in rooms, we all know that, but then again, I have never stayed at a posh hotel that holds 300 baht cash as a deposit. Whatever an Thai employee have to do, even just cut gras, they take picture as a proof. So might be the case here as well.

I never mentioned anything about a camera in the room. I posted what I seen. I think Scubascuba3 got it right. The receptionist never got anyone to check the room. It only took about a minute from me handing over my keys to me walking out the door, it was as quick as that.
February 13, 20233 yr Some Smart TVs have built in cameras so that the monitor can also be used for video conferencing. There have been incidents of Smart TVs being hacked into and videos posted online. Now, as a precaution, whenever I check into a new hotel room, I do a quick google search for the features of the TV in the room to make sure there is no video recording capability. You can easily find the camera position if you know what to look for and simply cover it with tape or whatever. https://www.avast.com/c-smart-tv-spying-on-you Many other resources on this topic online.

Perhaps there was a camera in the fridge too? I don't believe. It is also very hard to see smaller damage on a video.
February 16, 20233 yr If I saw a room on screen I would make up an excuse to go back up to the room to find out what was going on. I forgot my comb, whatever. you don’t want to be wondering if you were recorded later on.

February 17, 20233 yr Of course, if thieves got I to your room that video camera would self destruct the day before. Funny dat...
