April 28, 201412 yr I bought a very good door-knob/lock for 109 THB at B & B. The cards can be programmed individually.
April 28, 201412 yr giving any 'friend' your keycard is pretty foolish especially if you have more than one 'friend' (as most of us do)
April 28, 201412 yr You will only need to get the lost key erased off the records, they are coded individually to an owner and the other keys will still work.
April 28, 201412 yr Most hotel card entry are swiped and reprogrammed every other day and always on check out day. Can you not do that. In future only put your phone number on it, for return if lost and maybe personall reference 1,2,3,4 for example. Oh, and have a spare card for each door incase it happens again. I would also charge a deposit of at least 500bt to tenants for return of these cards.
April 28, 201412 yr Author re Management should have kept a record of the card number and can cancel it. you and others were right and the little angels downstairs had done their stuff one friend in bangkok texted me her card number this morning i called another in phayao this morning and got hers but one in chiang mai didnt answer her phone so i ended up cancelling hers and the stolen card ! the locksmith ... i could have various sorts / qualities of lock and amount of keys with each package from 300 to 1000 baht but in the end i went for just a new barrel change only ( not the handles / guts / bodywork ) and two new keys at 300 baht which i thought was ok and i had another three cut in chiang puak for 60 baht this afternoon so alls well now re .. I would also charge a deposit of at least 500bt to tenants for return of these cards. tenants .. tenants ? these girls are errrr ummmm errrr how can i put this my friends im their friend / customer ... not the other way round ! but ill try asking them for a 500 baht deposit so they can come to see me in future but i suspect i know what the answer will be dave2

Well it's a situation that we can all relate too. We all exploit cute young women or men for money, so any speed bump along the way is a normal occurrence that we can weigh in on in a reasoned, responsible manner. And the minority of people who lead different lives know the demographic of the user base, so no much point in pontificating about it. It's just the way things are.
