What options do they have to pay besides credit card? Sometimes its like 200 baht or so. I only use my US credit cards but yeah several other options.

For flights, I try to book with the airline. No one else will help you if anything goes wrong. Utter utter rubbish re your last sentence..... I use solely one agent out of London Travel Trolley who on 3 occasions down the years have bent over backwards to help me twice over flight date changes on supposed "unchangeable" class of tickets and as recently as March this year when the the airline non response to communications became unsettling Agent sorted it within 20 minutes of contact In contrast twice in only a handful of bookings direct with the airline I had issues Agent every single time for me and of course notwithstanding 99% of the time the flight is cheaper anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps; but there is more to using a service than focusing solely on price. And, for example, the reason many people choose to live in Thailand as opposed to, say, Sri Lanka, which is "cheaper." Reminds me of the quote, "He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." 🤣 Agoda was great until there was a problem with the hotel, at which point they were fairly useless and I never used them again. My general business motto: "If you don't take care of the customer, someone else will." Enter Booking and AirBnb. Agoda, unlike Booking, doesn't display the true total price per night until checkout. Booking has much better price transparency. With AirBnb, you never have to worry about paying cash or needing to surrendering card details in a third world country to cover a bond deposit. Agoda, like Hotels.com and Expedia, is good until it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it is the hotel's fault as they upload the info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masarati and Chrysler share the same parent company. My brother and I come from the same parents, but we are very different 🤣 Keep using Agoda if it works for you 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
