Many people write to us asking us to name and shake hotels in Thailand. We cannot according to Thai law just name and shame certain hotels because their bad behavior (even if we wanted to). We understand that many people have problems with staff at hotels steal money from the guest and mostly the hotel owners are on the side of the staff. Your best thing is to make as much fuzz about this at the moment you are there. But first of all make sure your new Thai Girl or Boy friend did not take the money. Make sure the money is not in the room and make sure you collect evidence.
Some things you can do
Send an email out to all English Speaking Newspapers asking them to come down to the Police Station.
Call your local Embassy asking them to come down and help you.
Post on local forums like Thaivisa.com and Personalthailand.com
Write to us and tell us about the problem while you still in Thailand not when you left.
If the Police do not want to take a complaint just ignore him and ask for his supervisor and if do not want to do it call Bangkok Central Police and make a complaint against these police officers.
In Pattaya you can call 1337 and ask for Advice and there is always the tourist Police to call as well.
Payback
The more noise you make the more the hotel owner have to pay to the Police in “good will” money once you left and he might get the point after a while not to side with the staff.
When you have a proper police report all the media in Thailand will be more willing to publish your story since they can base it on the facts of the police report not just your word.
When you come back to your own country you can slander the hotel in question all you want if you did not get the money back.
