Hi, This
is my story.
Telling
lie about rental refund:
Rental Rate: Daily = 500 bath, Monthly = 3800 Bath + 5000
for the room's insurance
We
designed the monthly rental because we want to stay for 3 months.
On the
day we move in,
the apartment owner said, "Incase
you want to stay only first haft of the month. you can pay the rental
only haft, but you have to give me notice 1 week before you move
out". We also have fitness on the top floor. She said. At the end
of the second month we told the officer, we want to move out after14,
but she want us to pay full month rental. "We will
give you the refund back on the day you move out" she said.
On the
day we move out,
The owner say, "we will have to check the room after you move out, so
come back here tomorrow." "You
also have to give me back the room key today." "If
it is not thing damaged, we will give you back the insurance (5000) and
your haft month rental refund. This is our rule." The owner said.
We don't know why she needs a day to check the stuff in the room, but
we don't mind because we want to visit our friend's house. "We can come
back here tomorrow." I told my friend.
And we has never used the fitness she told us since the first day because
it has been locked all the time. (one of the room keeper told me that
"it has never been opened actually" ! ! ! )
Next
day,
The owner gives us back only 3000 bath for the room's insurance. We ask
why. She say, "We keep 2000 for the electricity, weather and phone expend",
and she show us the receive. How about the haft
month rental refund, we ask. "What refund?"
The owner says. She also says, " we have only daily
rental and monthly rental. You already pay monthly rental. It is up to
you when ever you want to move out. 15 or 30 it is up to you. We never
give any one back the refund. It is our rule." ! ! ! !
We
repeated the conversation that we had with her yesterday.
She repeatedly say. "I never said that., I never
said that."! ! ! ! One time, she admits
that some of the apartment officer may tell us, but she said. She already
kicks that person out. All of us can remember who
told us about that refund. The owner of the apartment! How
ever she never take respond for what she told us yesterday.! ! ! !
Now
I know why she wants the room key on the day we move our stuff out. So
that we can not do any damn thing when we find out about her tricks later.
I guess, she much has tricked a lot of foreigner travel before us.
Trying
to cheat the room's insurance:
After augment, we get out of that apartment, and we think that we will
never go back again. When we take a look at the check. (It is a personal
checking) we found that she
did not sign the check! Finally we have to go back for that damn
signature! At the bank we also found that she make
a mark so we can not get cash immediately. It needs to transfer to our
account only. If you have an account with Thai bank, it should
be ok. If you don't, you will have to pay the fee to transfer to the account
in your country.!
Cheat
electricity, weather and phone expend:
She did not give us the receive, but after
we did some calculated from the money we got back. We found that we
have to pay more than 100 a day for electricity, weather and phone! (It
doesn't include the rental.) It is impossible. My Thai friend said.
We were staying in the room only at night. However it is enough for one
day. We don't want to go back again. "If you want
to make a long time staying in Thailand, next time you better keep recording
you electricity and weather meter." My friend said.
Conclusion:
well… it is not a big money, but it was a waste
of our time and a good feeling to this city. It was also truly unfair
business to me. That hurt me. I guess, she much has tricked to a lot of
foreigner travel included me. After you read
this page, I hope you will not be the next victim of this bitch!
My little
recommendation,
- Never
except check from foreigner people
- Never
make a deal with stranger, No matter how good he/she looks!
- (If you
have to make a deal) Always write down every deal on a paper and always
get the signature
- Always
have a tourist police's phone number next to you (1155 <-Bangkok'
tourist police)
- Trust
your instinct!
