I will be arriving Xmas Eve and staying for 14 nights(joyful scenes

). Looking forward to meeting fellow board members especially Dirty Mike. On a slightly sour note have just had notification that I will have to pay 1000 Baht to entertain a lady at the Burasari should they confirm my reservation eek: . Is this in line with the new policy I read about somewhere else on this site about a crackdown on "guests" by the government? Seems a bit steep,I paid 600B last Xmas at the Seaview and zilch at the C & N Hotel & Spa in May. Any comments would,as always,be appreciated.
