hermit666 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) My friend came to Thailand in Pattaya 5th December and he forget what hotel he registered (he paid advantage 18,000B for 2 months). He took bus number 389 and he booked a room from 2 floor hotel (B 14). After he have spent time in several hotels near beach road. He have asked help from tourist police but they cannot help. What can he do? Edited January 7, 2014 by hermit666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 How did he book it? Credit card would have record online banking etc. What a nutter !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Moving to Pattaya local forum, hopefully the OP will get some useful advice there. This one is going to be interesting. Pre-emptive warning: Lets keep the replies constructive, shall we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) 1) He has been here over 1 month now so there goes 9k 2) Where did he take this Bus # 389 from? 3) You mean he booked a room ON 2nd floor room # B-14 ? 4) He MUST have used a credit card (no other way for pre-booking) so tell HIM to do some real research 5) Sorry but the tourist police cannot read his mind and with that little info........ 6) Did he use a notebook when he was looking for rooms online? If yes does he have it with him? Maybe he can search his history and it might jog his poor memory. PS: Your FRIEND?

johng Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The hotel should have reported his stay to immigration perhaps he could ask them at Jomtien Soi 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It is unclear whether he actually checked in so Immigration files may not yet exist, but tracking his original booking and payments should have been easy enough if this was done by via computer. The suggestion to look at hotel listings to jog his memory seems sensible. How the problem could have existed for one month now is surprising ... but I have witnessed quite a few cases of people who have already checked into somewhere and then can't remember how to get back to there or where it is etc. No key, no hotel card and only remembered landmarks like "there was a 7 Eleven close by" ....

crazygreg44 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 if he used a laptop when booking, the url of the webpage might be still in the browser's history. All he has to do is scrolling back in the history list to the day when he booked and re-open the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Pretty soon we will have to start insuring that people who use computers are licensed, since some are really clueless, as is the OP's acquaintance I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when he went to the tourist police 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chang_paarp Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Pretty soon we will have to start insuring that people who use computers are licensed, since some are really clueless, as is the OP's acquaintance I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when he went to the tourist police I would be more interested in what the BIB said AFTER he left. Talk about giving falang a bad name. That discussion would make it into the training manual for how to deal with the clueless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaPhom Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 From reading the OP, I get the impression he actually arrived here, paid the money, went out and couldnt remember where the hotel is...no mention of internet booikng, any booking would be accompinied by a confirmation email. Orange building at least 2 floors with B numbered rooms dosnt really narrow it down....is the bus a Songtaew numbrer? not that would help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurnell Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Doesn't Agoda require an email address? Seems like a good start would be to log onto your email account?? Or am I just an incredible genius?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya28 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 My guess is the "troll" that's not a "troll" is a "troll" Let's look at the vague facts. 389 bus orange hotel 2nd floor B.14 room What does all this mean ?

hermit666 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 He have 40,000 baht + passport in there room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaPhom Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Having pp and money in room confirms that he arrived, booked and then forgot where it is......THB 9,000 per month in peak season suggests it would be a budget class condo/guest house, somewhere back of Buakhao or Soi V.C area possibly...thats where I would start looking. Get yourself a moped or a driver and start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy this is like pulling teeth. Is there a key ring for the key and if so does it say what the name of the hotel is ? If it is a key card, does the key card show the name of the hotel ? If not then see this thread and maybe the code on the card can be read with a card reader http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/694350-make-copy-of-key-card-from-condo/ Post #16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
