Xangsamhua Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi, I'm a bit out of touch with hotel bookings in LOS. I want to book a hotel in North Pattaya for Christmas Eve and Christmas Night to join my son and his family. His hotel and others in the area offering discounted rates are asking for prepayment, meaning that the total amount is to be paid prior to the stay, with no money back. I assume that this means any change of plans and I can't cancel, even some considerable time before the stay. Is that right? I would expect to be able to drive down to Pattaya and check in as planned, but who knows what the future holds? I'd like to be able to make a booking that is refundable if my plans change. Any advice would be most welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 So you want to book something you can cancel at the last minute? That is why they want the money up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xangsamhua Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Not at the last minute. That would have to be an emergency. But possible cancellation or rebooking for different dates some time before the original booking. Most hotels in my experience will charge a penalty, the % depending on how close to the booking time you cancel. I'm OK with that, though a cancellation well ahead of time should only incur a small penalty, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Booking.com comes up with 782 results for Pattaya filtered for free-cancellation, you really ought to be able to find something I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xangsamhua Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've sorted this out, thank you. Paid a bit extra and have free cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
