-- True, for
Le MERIDIEN there is
no '
Joiner's fee.'.
-- Earlier this yr. a visiting & teaching professor friend of my Enthusiastic & American Friend invited one of the latter's young men to spend a fortnight, (
2 wks.), with him visiting BKK., PATTAYA & PHUKET;
- In PATTAYA they occupied a top fl. suite at THE AMBIANCE HTL.;
- While here in BKK. they stayed on the 17fl. of
Le MERIDIEN and availed of all the facilities on offer; especially the open air & 6fl. sw. pool, where E&AF.,
tee rak & I joined them - at
no extra charge - a couple of times;
- Subsequent feed-back suggested that the Thai boi, (who hails from I-San.), didn't really enjoy it - too luxurious for him, ( a pt. with wch. my E&AF. & I agreed.),;
-- The Thai boi was bought some new clothes, an earpiece or whatever for his cell-'phone. and was given a final TIP. of just
3K.Bh.! E&AF. & I reckoned that the costs of air-fares & of other tpt. within TH., htls'. accn.
etc. etc. were taken into account before leaving that departing gratuity.
