Yea right...buy the book and apply a coupon to some obscure date at a hotel that most likely won't honor it. Remember if it's to good to be true.......
It's not like it's .50 cents of a hamburger coupon...why would some company apply a $200.00 credit to your card based on a $70.00 bill. Come on!

Scam...scam...

The voice of knowledge ....
The guy who runs the site has a history of identifying good deals, he probably get a commission if you you go through his links but hey, he's identified the deal - YOU on the otherhand have done nothing to prove it's bogus.

Sorry to have offended you! However this thing has “stupid people apply” written all over it.

Conrad Bankok Presidential Suite US$50/night

All deal honoured, many people took advantage of them.

I have done ..... twice
Although I have now recalled it was £600, still very enjoyable, the onboard chefs were particularly good but I guess you're used to that sort of thing ....

There is also a motto in the UK you may have heard "There is no such thing as a free meal" That is usually true, but there are also bargains to be had.

Why be so sceptical about a BM posting a bargain. Follow it through and it may save a lot of money. No need to bad mouth it if you don't like/agree with it.

well its a pretty good 3 star hotel with a small pol which has a swim up bar....rooms are OK but doubt whether you'd get a bigger upstairs room for that price.....good family style hotel right on Soi Kepsap which is famous for its massages and very close to beach and shops....about 8 minute walk to bangla rd....

they do have overnight guest fees but will generally waive them if you are staying a week or more (have done for me on two stays) and ask politely at the time of booking.....

Think I paid about Bht1200 in low season last tiem I satyed....but that was 3 years ago
