Group Dicount Rates for Thailand Hotels Five Star Hotels, do they give discounts for groups? It seems rather ridiculous to give a large group a discount on hotel rooms. There is a large group of people who entered the hotel. Happy New Year --------------------------------- Bangkok Thailand - Southeast Asia Khao San Road Tuesday, January 1, 2008 Andy of HoboTraveler.com --- ---------------------------------- Exclusive, Five Star Hotel or a Five Star Resort, I have traveled enough to know, groups cause problems. A group of Americans, a group of Swiss, a group of any culture the planet and you have the formula and ingredients for trouble.
A married couple with no children and probably no troubles, I like when this is the formula living next door.
If I was a Five Star Traveler, I think I would look for hotels that do not allow groups, or give groups discounts, or encourage any of this silly behavior.
If I was the owner of a run-down, 50 percent vacancy rate hotel, I think I would want groups, because I need them, business is bad. I think a groups should pay more and only be allowed to rent whole floors.
Nevertheless, I am not a Five Star Hotel person and for the most part, I close to never have to deal with this type of preposterous hotel problem.
I am always curious, why the more people pay, often the hotel is worst.
I tend to believe the future of exclusive Five Star Hotels is for the under 40 room sector.
