Thanks spoonfed. In Bangkok, my exprience was that all 5* hotels woud try and charge a joiner's fee, except the Sofitel, the Conrad (+ was told the Sukhotai an,d recently the Meridien). In Chiang Mai, same. In Pattaya, same.
So my experience is that the "norm" woud be "joiner's fee" and the exception woud be some individual hotels. Hence my question.
Regarding Phuket/Patong etc, thanks for the tip. I was not aware of the taxi problem in Phuket.
From what you are saying, they do not have the same baht bus system as in Pattaya or Chiang Mai...
