Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
True, but still having a Western associated country in the company name does lend itself to a different degree of respectability. Does it...how? Has the company ever had a reputation of anything less than respectability? -

Bangkok Declared Disaster Zone Following Powerful Myanmar Earthquake
I feel I must defend the Thais in this, as generalisations do not help. My experience was being buffeted in my 11th floor hotel room before staggering down the corridor and heading down the stairs. At strategic locations there were members of staff pointing out exit routes and exhorting people to be careful. The 4th floor swimming pool had deposited many litres of water on the tiled floor so the staff there had put down rubber mats and warned people as they made their way past. We were ushered into a nearby open parking space and the staff quickly brought out chairs from the ground floor lobby while confirming that the hotel was empty. The staff liaised quickly to get the single storey restaurant nearby to provide bottles of water and open their doors for the old, young and pregnant to escape from the heat. Return was delayed until the fear of aftershocks had abated, and the staff continually engaged with all present to reassure us they would let us know as soon as it was considered safe to return. The Thais were fantastic, and my only issue was the panicking farang who was trying to push me down the stairs and get past; I did consider physical violence but realised I would have to carry his unconscious body out with me. This was not an international chain hotel but locally owned and run; their staff were impressive. -

New Car Red Plate Question
I have driven with red plates all over this country, including at night. Been stopped at a few checkpoints but never had a problem. Just log the trip in the book.
