Re: Hua Hin Condo owners fined for short term rentals

Re: Hua Hin Condo owners fined for short term rentals
Thanks for that Migrant. 4 nights is bad enough but what if it was 2 weeks @ 10k night !!!! I will be having a really good look at their contracts to see who is responsible in such cases.

Had the same thing myself with another booking agent and had to go through multiple people by email and phone before getting a result and an apology . Having used Expedia I have only experienced either them ...

Yep Either that or I am still living in an age when you had to walk 3 miles in the freezing cold with a pocket full of 10p and 2p coins to the red phone box outside the post office to call granny, who would be waiting at her posh friends house ( only one in the street that had a phone) then keep you...
