Since 1992 I travel to Asia and always stay in Thailand for some weeks. The Thantip was the worst hotel I ever stayed in Thailand. When I booked the rooms for my friends and me via Hotel.com I forget to mention that my fiancé from Vietnam vill arrive half a day later for visiting me for 4 days. When I arrived I told the lady in the reception about that and she replied “500 bath extra per day”, when I asked her why ( we hade not booked breakfast, so I could not understand the extra coasts) , she loudly announced “ When you want Lady visitor you pay , hotel policy). I again explained that the lady visiting me is my fiancé but in the end I did not border to discus this issue. when my fiancé arrived a couple of hours later we hade the next problem with another unfriendly receptionist, she wanted to keep my fiancé’s Vietnam passport. I asked her why she not just take a copy like she did with mine, she told me for my own safety , man hade been robbed before! I of course went bananas and demanded the passport back. Later I understood that the hotel take the id from the girls which visiting guests for special treatment s. So even the hotel want to make money on prostitution instead of forbidding those kind of visits. And my fiancé get treated like a prostitut just because she is Asian. The rooms need to be renovated and the staff need for sure to learn how to be politely. For sure Thantrip will never see me again. WiFi sucks!
