kelp987 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The news looks credible. Looks like an extreme situation here, but still disturbing https://onemileatatime.com/jailed-thailand-negative-hotel-review/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Actions like this will turn tourists off. If you can't give a negative review, then how can you trust any reviews about Thailand? I can't believe they actually jailed him, but time will tell if he serves any time. This really makes LOS look bad imo ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelp987 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 More active discussion on this on the Pattaya forum. The good news, there are lots of negative reviews about Thailand hotels, but this is the only such incident. The guy must have really pissed them off.

Natty Bummpo Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 This s an extreme case to say the least, but the guest does seem to be an ass hole. Read the story about the original altercation in the hotel restaurant over a wine corkage charge. I do not believe it was the 1 star review that landed the guy in hot water with the authorities. It was the defamation of the restaurant manger and the false, vindictive (from the perspective of the hotel manager) report posted on travel advisor. Did the hotel manager over react in filing charges? Absolutely. I would be concerned about his mental state If I were the owner. Perhaps both the manager and the guest should take an anger management course with Jack Nicholson. 555. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the guy went on multiple review sites, and left reviews that went clearly over the top and far beyond his original grievance, with the apparent goal of damaging the venue's deputation and future revenue. It's those latter points around scope, truthfulness, and ultimate intent that hung the guy. He clearly wanted to screw them, and got screwed in return. Som nam naa...

stoneloz Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The guy was posting multiple bad reviews so the hotel asked for police assistance after he refused to talk with them. The police mediate issues like this all the time, no charges just oversee a meeting to sort out a dispute. He refused to turn up to the police summons, so an arrest warrant was issued. Unless Daddy owns Red Bull, if you get a summons by the police you go. The guy deserves everything he got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
