Palazzo Hotel is Now Not Guest Friendly Unless Booking From ThaiHotelDiscounts

[norice]

Thaihotels,

If what you say is the truth, then we'll boycott the hotel and go some where else, Palazzo isn't the only hotel in Rachada! I'm with Bushnell, during my next trip, I'm booking another hotel.

Brothers in Singapore, from January 24, let's all boycott Palazzo Hotel! Let's see whose asshole will get bigger after next year!

Thaihotel,

I apologize for using French! I guesll, business is business, you want to maximize your profit.

Sorry

[adidas88]

yes ... it's confirmed ...

i just got my thai friend to check it out with the hotel management and the 500baht joiner fee is enforced ...
the rule is passed down from the top level ... (owner of emerald hotel group) ..

if so, can you try siam beverly which is in ratcha too. that should be gal friendly cos my friend was staying there. brought 2 gals up. 1 chinese and 1 thai but was not stopped for it :d

though i stayed at palazzo just a couple of times, via tim, i would say it's pretty good in terms of value and location. but i guess what everyone loved about this is the relaxed rule with regards to the "gals".. we can simply walk through lobby without questions asked... that's the point of us...

As to the view from the management, maybe they would like to uplift the image of the hotel having gone through the major reno and additions.. At the same time, increase additional revenue...

Having said that, thailand being thailand... tradition runs deep... perhaps the staff on the ground ie, doorman, security, reception.. do not really agree, but have to follow instructions... initially.. When time passes on, it could all go back to square one.. think about it, joiner fees imposed on only the gals from the massage joint across the road and not the rest. reckon they do not really know about implementing it in the first place. it's probably so that they heard about it, err wanted it and hmmm how to do it....

let's just wait and see... it could be due to their lack of "governmental lead" which drives them bonkers... like the saying QIU(3) TO(4), LAO(3) GAO(2) SUAN(3)

cheers, just my 2 cents worth of thought...

Tim,

Firstly, thank you for your efforts in negio with Palazzo for the exclusion of the joiner fee for all bros that book the rooms via your hotel site.

And how will the hotel's security identify people who booked through you when bringing in girls ?. Pls explain. Answer most appreciated. We walked in with a ThaiHotelDiscount baseball cap or T-shirt ?. Special no joiner fee coupon from you or hotel to flash to security when bringing in girls ?.

Any other alternative hotels with similiar pricing and qualities of Palazzo that is guest friendly ?.

Thanks.

i guess the change of policy is due to the change of business profile ..

i remember i have never seen any travel coaches ard hotel palazzo since the first time i started staying there 7 yrs ago whenever i am in BKK ..
but i saw a couple of them in my recent trip ... in other words, they r having "real" tourist staying in their hotel now ...
one can notice the type of guests staying in the hotel during breakfast time ... majority are tourist ..

and the expansion of room capacity means they r doing quite well ...

Tim,

This is bad news indeed.. Bad news for palazzo.. Been supporting them all these years.. Guess its time to end the support since they are pushing the limits..
There are a few hotels ard ratchada area, not only them..

[theUnforgotten]

This not so good news indeed, oh well it's not the only game in town. Possibly shooting themselves in the foot.

Though guess it's time to do some extra research and source for other gal friendly hotels, within similar budget

Guys,

As you guys book through ThaiHotelDiscounts, can't see the problem?

Reaction from bros here is only to be expected, given that the Palazzo's a samster hotel (even if I've not bunked there before).

So Tim's credits give us the priviledge or exclusivity. Which brings on obvious
question: how to distinguish us from rest (never mind the neighbourhood rubdown joint's giveway uniforms)? So Yokosi's ID crisis is relevant here. Add to his costume ideas -how's a sticker or even a tatto job?

The point is how practical it's to enforce this?

Yes You have struck a valid point on the practicality of enforcing this policy.

As you know the concept of being guest friendly is not being harrassed by the hotel staff , when you are high ( probably from the whisky and beers) and bringing along a Fine specimen of the female homo sapiens species on your arm.

It does dampen the spirit of things, when u are being stopped on the way back to your room for some action.

perhaps some one , can introduce some ideas to verify Guest's identities with minimum fuss and disruption ,perhaps a special "pass"

[adidas88]

i guess we'll know more abt this enforcement when fellow bros come back from their trip after staying in hotel palazzo ...

i am going to try this when i'm in bkk next mth ...

the hotel have a side entrance (at the car park) ...
a security guard and parking warden r always sitting there ..
many times i've used the side entrance to get into the hotel lobby lift after a visit to mirage mp (close now) ...
the security guard have not stopped me before, in fact, if he's standing near the door, he'll open the door and saluted u ... damn polite ..
through the side entrance, u'll reached the lift lobby directly bypassing the front counter ...
if u took a cab, alight at the car park instead of front entrance and use the side entrance into the hotel ...

i wonder if this will work to avoid the joiner fee ...

Ok guys.

I will think about the best way to help the hotel differentiate guys booking with ThaiHotelDiscounts and those who do not. I do appreciate the fact it is not nice to be harrased when drunk or at any time?

If any guy has an idea on the best way to do this. Pls let me know. Sure there will be a way. Eg a secret handshake etc

Tim

[krestar]

How about a "secret" entrance for ThaiHotel clients to use? Seriously have to look for alternate accomodation since CP increased their rates
