In the article it states that the hotel guest violated the hotel policy of bringing alcohol on premise. So the guest seems to have broken the rules and then lied about it, which in Thailand is a serious crime. Yes, the punishment is excessive but not sure how the guest is “right”. Your comment is cherry picking the later section while ignoring the beginning, it seems. > According to media reports the whole drama initially started as the guest brought outside alcohol into the hotels dining outlets which wasn’t permitted. It then resulted in a verbal row between the management and this particular individual who then posted bad reviews across several review boards.

>Yes, the punishment is excessive but not sure how the guest is “right”. >Your comment is cherry picking the later section while ignoring the beginning, it seems. I didn't claim that the guest was right. In my original comment, the only mention of "right" was in a hypothetical.

  With all due respect, you’ve edited your comment, deleting the section I responded to. Thankfully @indy quoted your original text. >What's he trying to say? That even if you're right, you shouldn't write a bad review because the justice system is corrupt and you're going to end up in jail anyways? I mean, what’s the purpose? It’s just a forum and you had an opinion. Either defend it or say “whoops, sorry, had a bad day and jumped to a conclusion”. We’ve all been there; At least I have.

    What am I missing? That portion of the comment is still there in the original. And, as mentioned, it's presented as a hypothetical.

> So the guest seems to have broken the rules and then lied about it, which in Thailand is a serious crime. The article says the hotel wanted a fee for bringing in alcohol. Where are you getting that not paying a fee to bring alcohol to a hotel and lying about it would be a serious crime in thailand?

Buying alcohol from another business is not really something to jail someone over. Especially considering the overhead of putting someone in jail with three hots and a cot. UNLESS they got this person doing some kind of slave labor, then there's a small chance the math will work out. This is all pretty dark though and violates my own personal values. Not sure why there are so many in the comments here defending this hotel.
