Rip offs, rip offs, rip offs. Thailand is filled with rip offs, starting from the moment you arrive at the Swampie Airport and perhaps connect down to Phuket. When will the Thai government do something about these rip offs? Don't hold your breath.
Parking your car at Phuket airport can be a rip-off
I am writing to you to express my anger and disappointment with services at the Phuket International Airport. I am a frequent traveller from Bangkok to Phuket, and most of the time I use the same flight schedule and park my car at the airport.
Last Saturday, however, things were extremely bad again!
The incident happened at approximately 11.45pm. As usual, I had parked my car for two days at the airport and expected to pay Bt400 in parking fees as I had done in the past. However, this time, I was initially asked to pay Bt800, but they agreed to accept Bt600 after I argued that I had only ever paid Bt400 for the exact length of time before. The parking attendants can't be trusted as they charge different fees almost daily for the exact parking period. I know, because I tested this twice.
I also know that the Airports of Thailand will try to argue with me on this, but I have done my homework and know what I am talking about. Despite asking for a receipt that states the time the car came in and left the airport parking lot, I was only given pink pre-printed bill that could not be used to prove anything to anyone.
I have tried to several times to file a complaint with the AOT, but have received no answers. Any explanation or moves to eradicate this practice of over-charging people would be appreciated.
