Homeless German Quality Tourist In Legal Dispute With Thai-Massage Shop

Gentlemen ,

 

I wish to bring this matter to your esteemed attention after I found out that management and staff of Lollipop Bar Soi 10 fully share my view of what happened on last Thursday 1st of June deep inside Soi 11 and what I consider as another major setback on incoming tourist-traffic from abroad .

 

As follows:

 

I landed at 07:18 sharp , took a taxi and it started raining like silly . Which made the ride last 2 hours to aforementioned Soi 11 . I had been on the road for about 19 hours , smelling like a pig and very very keen on taking a shower . Only to find out that the hotel was fully booked and no room before 12:00 . No good .

 

In deepest depression I stumbled back to Sukhumvit , crossed selfsame and entered Viva restaurant for breakfast where I spend the next hour eating and trying to make the waitress produce one single smile . The latter without success . There are plenty of massage shops around Viva and whilst chewing their home made Chiabatta an excellent idea started to develop deep within myself : instead of wasting more time without use I would go into a massage shop close to the hotel , could take a free shower this elegant way and of course a massage under strictly medicinal aspects .

 

1 hour oil massage 600 Baht we agreed about and I wish to insist I had absolutely nothing but a clean massage on my mind ; Thai massage , please note , is 400 Baht only .

 

Unfortunately , gentlemen , unfortunately Mademoiselle Nen from Buriram had obviously got about the job with an entirely different concept and even before the 1 hour oil massage was over we were in full swing deepening the German / Buriram international friendship so to say . What a difference a shower could make .

 

To my surprise 2 hours were over when I said goodbye to Miss Nen and through my tears asked for her mobile number in case I need a shower again later in my life .

 

Checkbin .

 

1200 Baht said this rotten subject of an overweight mamasan and I said for what . She said for 2 hour oil massage . I said is fine for 1 hour because both parties had agreed to that but hour number two only with some phantasy could even be called Thai massage so I owe her 1000 Baht . I am as such not a stingy person , the taxidriver for example received almost 180 Bht change as tip because he used the meter without yelling at him and had no nice lady happy hour or a diamond factory on offer . But my sense for justice is highly developed and therefore I was upset . At the end of the discussion I paid 1200 and left .

 

I am asking the legal expertise of the joint board if I was right or did try to hurt Thai law in no insignificant way . My soul found piece in the meantime because I invited Miss Nen already to meet in the hotel thus avoiding paying the fat mamasan-monster any money at all .

 

Over to you

I guess the question is was Miss Nen compensated for her service? Is so as I understand it the girls and shop split 50/50. That being the case 300 baht to mamasan for the additional hour would be sufficient on the provision Miss Nen was paid independently.

Ickjuse me Sir , I am a traditionally educated citizen of old East Prussian standards , meaning even unrequested services shall be duely rewarded such as in this case . We are talking about 2 entirely different although simultaneously happening legal strings .

 

On a sidenote : recalling the event Miss Nen should better have rewarded Khun BuBi but I decided to handle the matter in a most generous way .

Then in my opinion the mamasan should have been paid 900 baht. 600 for the original 1 hour oil massage and 300 for the shops share of the second hour.

 

I rest my case..... :tophat:

 

But remember you are dealing with Thais here. Reminds me of the story someone told about wanting a specific item removed from their food order and was charged extra :dunno:

It is off topic but I am prepared to join alternative areas of complaining , as follows :

 

Every single day I take late breakfast at Viva restaurant Soi 8 and run a bill of about 600 Baht plus decent tip . They offer for 140 baht a plate of either - Parma ham - Sourizo - Salami or another ham . Prices all same same . I have been begging on my knees if they could not split the plate 50/50 between for example Salami and Parma ham . No bloody way .

 

On the other hand off the fruit plate I am only interested in pineapple and I asked to skip the Mango and melon . Which they happily do but the quantity of pineapple is not increased by one fraction of a slice .

That was me! I wanted a Cheese and Tomato roll, instead of the ham cheese tomato. They wanted 10 baht more!

 

 

That sounds like Monte Python. :p

Gentlemen ,

 

there are news of outstanding significance ready to be published : other than usual I have taken breakfast yesterday at Viva restaurant Soi 10 accompanied by the most lovely Pam from the Peoples Democratic Socialist Paradise of the Working Classes Republic of Lao . This country seems to be somewhere behind Nong Kai .

 

Viva staff obviously impressed by a sudden doubling of the BuBi armed forces agreed without yelling to supply 5 balls Mozarella Cheese which I had identified on a photo in their menue . There was no ´Can only eat with salad ´ or ´Chef no can ´ or other .

 

Viva restaurant to my currently updated opinion is on the path to new hights of hospitality considering a customer as somewhat important within the supply line ending in monthly wages .

 

May Buddha be with them , back in September .
