he would get shot

And the headline would read, "Crazed foreigner tries to steal jet ski."

Self defense. Case closed. :)

I never paid a deposit to a hotel!!!

Not needed in 1/2 * - 2 * Hotels, right. tongue.png

I don't know!!! Is this your experience? I used all the time 3-5 star hotels like Mövenpick, Maritim, RIA, ... and never paid a deposit. Maybe I am more trustful as you, Alfredo??? :-)

Also I use a lot of times booking.com or hotel.com and never been charged a deposit.

Think about to change your name, maybe this will help you next time!!! biggrin.png

$500 deposit? why not use a credit card like normal people?

if you do hand over $500 why not ask for a receipt?

some people just line themselves up to be conned

Covered already, he did get a receipt. Try to keep up before posting.

Do you always read every post on a thread before posting yourself?

Only those who belong to the CCC club here (competent, considerate, credible).

Conversely, we'll try to remember your nick in order to evaluate and/or ignore your future, uninformed drivel.

This is the only thing that social media is good for....you can make such a stink that the hotel has no choice but to relent.

The only reason the hotel fired that person was due to this...or elase theyd still be holding firm...good on the kickboxer...

Don't believe the original post. First of all how was the deposit paid? For heavens sake. I stay in huts and they give me written receipt for key deposit if say 200 baht. Fake post
