I normally don't refer to a post a member may make in a different section but in your case I'll gladly make an exception.

 

What goes around comes around. The way you beat BG out of money when you take them for a night, reference your trip report. Makes my heart feel good that YOU almost lost money by this hotel.

He needed the 500bt to under pay his tour guide.Not all Canadians are cheap asses.

Sorry, Harris, if I were the Hotel I would not accept the cancellation at all. A story (with some proof) of your mother dying, a heart attack or some other kind of personal atrocity I would probably accept, but just because you have found a cheaper place to stay is definitely no legal reason for a cancellation of a room, pre-paid or not.

Think you're quite fortunate to get your money back. Even just losing 500 baht is not a bad deal.

[sinbinjack 243]

got to agree with party animal im a tight scot but this was way beyond anything i would have done

Often we shout or keep quiet on principle. That's all.

On princapal?

 

You were dead wrong, they have every right to keep a portion of the deposit as a cancalation fee unless they explicitly stated otherwise.

I've pre-paid a deposit for a hotel on 2 different weeks in Jan/Feb 2005, it was a total of 1,000 Baht. If I decided to not stay the 2nd week, I have lost 500 baht {deposit}. That is my choice/option, no other way to look at it.

 

My reservations have tied up a room and the penalty for not using that reservation is my deposit.
