Share the complaint, share the dragon fruit - Vie Hotel BKK

The first 2 mornings I got so furious from getting woken up from sweating in bed at 5-6am. The 3rd morning, I smiled to the front desk staff. Anyway, the so-called director of in-house engineer would replace the whole mother board of the air-conditioner, but odds don't come in even. Of course, double happiness times 2. The fourth day happened the same. Finally I figured out what went wrong with their air-conditioning. On the 4th day, the auto-off took place at 8am while the past 3 days took at around 5-6am. I came to realise the air-conditioning is on an 6 hour auto-off system. I turned on the air-con. at 2am for the night before the 4th day, as 12 midnight for the past 3 nights. When I explained this to the front desk, ok, the last day is fine. No more auto-off. Another fun fact is that I got some fruits and a bit surprised to see a half cut dragon fruit. Actually dragon fruit isn't an expensive fruit in Thailand. This is not Korea. How would they split a dragon fruit and finally the answer is the other half gone to my friend at the other room. Interesting.

why u hv only a half dragon fruit while it is a very very cheap fruit (around THB 10 each at Tesco Lotus, cheaper at Klongtoey market) here in Thailand - maybe, 1. the staff wanna let u c it is fresh, 2. under non-experience farang clubber cum sin fusion management, what stingy thing couldn't be happened!!

in Thailand, which Accor managed hotel is good? do u hv one in mind? the answer is definitely NO, even a local owned and managed hotel is better than any Accor's

Thanks Pixmation.

The first point may be quite relevant because some tangerines weren't fresh inside. Interesting why they didn't cut the tangerine. Maybe they know it's not fresh.
