PayPal teams with Centara for seamless hotel booking

By THE NATION

 

PAYPAL, a global online payments company, is collaborating with Centara Hotels & Resorts. Travellers looking to make a booking on Centara Hotels & Resorts’ websites and mobile application are now able to do so more securely and more quickly by checking out with PayPal, according to the two companies.

 

Thailand is a major tourist attraction for travellers around the world, and the industry has continued to grow steadily, recording a 13-per-cent increase in occupancy and revenue per available room in 2015. This, coupled with the rise of connected travellers worldwide, presents a huge opportunity for hospitality merchants in Thailand whose online presence automatically opens doors to a global customer base.

As opposed to using a credit card & saving money?

Giant step for mankind

That's good. Can't make a copy of your credit card details when using paypal. Welcome to the 90's.

PayPal, where the buyer pays a very bad exchange rate for payment in Thai Baht, and the seller is charged about 5 percent for an international payment.
They used to be good, but are pricing themselves out of the market.

If there is no other option I use PayPal, their charges are absurd and the way they do it is unethical! Recently they charged me - I found out when I saw statement

USD44 for a personal transfer, the amount was for $399.00, they charge a fee then insist they use their exchange rates to another currency, despite all charges being in USD!

fully agree. They are a disgrace and their "customer service" is one ridiculous joke. Tried to contact their Luxembourg based office once and it cost me a fortune, only to be confronted with a bunch of d*mb*sses that had no clue about anything.

Could not log in to my account for many months and they weren't able to offer a solution even I had fulfilled all requirements to re-set password and such. Plus they rob you on conversion rates. Avoid whenever possible!

Hi guys,

 

Anyone can help me to get quickly cash (Thai Baht) from my PayPal account? I transfer to your PayPal and you give me cash. I'm in Phuket.

I couldn't resist ! The thread that is currently running immediately below this one is titled "Paypal - Access Denied".
