hotel warning

just thought i would let everyone know about my stay at MAUMI PLACE hotel,
i booked in and have stayed one month,it's not a bad hotel but last week my wife 2 bt gold bracelet went missing in the room.
it's a small hotel and the only people that could have done it is the cleaning staff, well we went and told the owner who pretty much told us we are lieing and told us to get lost!!
so we went to the police who were very helpful and went straight to the hotel to interview the staff, no one owned up so have to take the loss!
after this we checked out then i got my next supprise, the room was 6000 per month plus power and water.
Me and my wife didnt use the aircon much never used the tv and only had showers, the bill came to 2000 bt!!!
My wifes mum and her family use about 150bt for water per month and about 300- 500 for power
be carefull staying at this place

its always very easy and convenient to accuse hotel staff of stealing,when there easily good be other explanations too.
many times it happened in my career in hotels,that the cleaning staff got accused of stealing by guests which had mislaid there stuff.
so i would be very careful by what i post on an internet forum

how do you misplace a 47000bt gold bracelet?
if someone else went in to the the room im sure they would have taken the 2 laptop computers and many other valuable stuff that were there?
they had a new staff member start 2 days before it happened and they would not give her name to the police.
The most thing i am pissed off at is the way the owner treated us, we have no reason to make it up as it's my wife's gold and she has not got travel insurance.

If i was going to leav an 47,0000 gold braclet in my room, i think i would stay at a place with at least a room safe to put it in.

hmmm...left a 47000 Baht bracelet in the room?

While I agree with the sentiments expressed, the OP did do the right thing went to the police and they ( not unusually ) were unable to find the culprit.
Posting about the Hotel and its activities in relation to overcharging for Electric and Water is understandable also the way the owner treated his customers, however then highlighting that due to an oversight an expensive bracelet has been stolen but NOT other attractive items , makes none think, it is also dangerous as the Hotel must have full details of the OP and his partner accusing publicly a Hotel Staff without a shred of evidnece is unwise. keep to the proven facts the rest as they say is history and a learning curve.

Thanks for the heads up, innercircle!

Always good to know about events like this.

when we know the room was getting cleaned we made sure everything was under lock and key.
but on this day the room was cleaned without us knowing, so we did't hide some things.
Which happed to be the day the new girl started, the owneres husband didn't even have a clue what days the rooms where cleaned or by who, and of course the hotel has no cameras.
I dont see what problem is from some posters here?

I don't know of any Thai wife who would leave a 2 baht gold ...anything in a hotel room....not for even one second !!!! just my opinion for what its worth.

so what every time we leave the room we should take everything thats valuable with us?
it's not the only gold she owns.

If you can afford gold like that why stay in a cheap hotel ???, always stay at Thomas resort and left things in room no problem at all, even leave all my loose change on table and when exit give it to the cleaners.

Perhaps that is why this gentlemen has the gold that he has described and you leave loose change on the table.
