In this day and age their is still a lot of prejudice around. Tell them they have lost the booking and look elsewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siam Man 2,298 #3 Posted March 28, 2013 Where is that hotel at Lotus? You would think they would be more accepting especially when accompanied by farang and kids. With tourism numbers down one would also think they would be more flexible in order to get your business. Here you are trying to take a family vacation and they insist on there policy designed to protect familys. Funny how more money makes them more accepting..bastards. i don't imagine to many have tried to take ladyboys to this place, but it always good to flag the non-Lb friendly Hotels and resorts.

mardhi 1,689 #5 Posted March 28, 2013 The hotel is full of Russian and Middle Eastern guests by all account. Not sure if that would bother you but aside from the policy + that mix of guests, I think I would look elsewhere. Perhaps the Centara on Trat or Koh Chang. Not as glamorous pool areas but much better beach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OneTrueSaxon 6,000 #7 Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks chaps , thinking of hua hin and Bangkok , for jays family to meet the children so if anyone has a ideas for family hotels with big pools would appreciate the info. I stayed in the Ibis in Hua Hin just the other week and it was spot on with a big pool. The assistant general manager at the Amari is one of us too. A good lad from Brisbane , who went with one of Michelle's friends one night. Might be an other option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gilb 25 #9 Posted March 30, 2013 Suprised flight centre couldn`t put pressure on them, ie they should be blacklisting that hotel in the future or else they are actually complicit in the discrimination as they would not be allowed to do that in nz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
