I agree, they are a nuisance to holidaymakers as are the tailors who try to stop you and try to shake your hand, but as far as anyone actually getting taken in by their 'winning' scratch cards and sales talk, I can't believe there is anyone left who can be so gullible as to go innocently to be 'sold' timeshare in their offices.

Timeshare has been around for as long as I have (well nearly) and you can't tell me that there is anybody on mother earth who has not heard of it by now and if anyone does agree to go to a sales presentation then they must be genuinely interested in owning a week's holiday in an apartment. Up to them.

Same remarks apply to 'fractional ownership' and although no doubt I will be told 'it is not the same thing' sales methods are similar.

I think they still run the Renaissance?

Agree with BigC, i've got family friends who have Anantara club membership, and they get great deals all over the planet, including Samui. They make the most of it, and it is worth it for them.

i was in Chaweng this arvo didn't see one timeshare tout at all though, thankfully

u turning their scooter and following you back towards Lamai around Lad Koh on a downhill corner to shout out to you "we've got a deal" is what I call insane and tourists should not have to deal with that in the least

theyare sneaky they lie low and move around in groups then they pop up for an afternoon then they slip away.

iu sore one outside the Bandara. he talked people into buying something then signaled a taxi who was obviusly on standby, to come over. then they got inside and the man drove off very quickerly.

So they have thais on their side and they maybe protected. infact they would have to be or they would be nicked by now
