What hidden charges can travelers expect from hotels in Thailand?

Question

Hotels need to make up for the last couple years of losses. 
Free Wifi, $12 😂😂😂

Ask Thailand · Answer

Travelers are expressing frustration over hidden charges in Thai hotels, including fees for WiFi and mini-fridge items. Many note that while some services like airport shuttles might be advertised as free, there are often additional costs involved. Users share experiences of booking issues, particularly with websites like Booking.com, and recommend direct bookings to avoid complications with charges and inclusions like breakfast or late check-out.

Can’t see it happening.

Minor group of hotels have just announced they are hiking rates across their hotels to claw back investment and promotions they had here during Covid.

Agoda and Booking they are also all adding to the ‘charges’ hotels make with their charges to advertise hotels, not to mention if you book through a site you can have a lot  of issues if you need to make changes.

Personally I would stick to booking direct and asking them to include any added extras like wifi, breakfast, late check out, early check in for free.

try booking dot com which is their partner. I booked a hotel with my card and they still charged me on arrival. Booking told me that I didn't pay with my card even though I had the email receipt and I could see 2 charges on my account. They then told me it would be "refunded within 10 days. On day 14 I called back and They then told me to ... wait for it.... send them my bank statement and if they see the charges they will reverse it. 😂 I refused and disputed the 2nd charge with my bank. Based on reviews this is normal with this site.
