Today I checked out of my hotel in Ko Samui.  While checking out they handed me a bill of 450 Baht ($15).  I asked what it was for and they said it was for the tour I took the other day.  Problem was I had already paid for it.  So when I tell the guy I already paid for it he asked around and surprise, surprise no one admitted to me paying the bill.  In fact they even acted like they had never seen me before.  On top of that all of a sudden no one spoke English anymore.  So as I tried to explain to the guy that I already paid I could see I was going to get nowhere with him.  So I asked to speak to the owner who leaves on the hotel grounds, but he told me that he does not work today and then got on his cellphone with a friend of his.  He just continued to ignore me for the next 10 to 15 minutes.  I told him I had a ferry to catch, but he still just ignored me.  I didn't want to leave because he had my deposit of 1000 Baht.  So I tried to negiotate with him and he still just ignored me.  So after 25 minutes I just paid for the tour again because I was not going to miss my ferry (it was only $15 afterall, but it was the principle of the whole thing).  Then he had the nerve to hand me my change and say thank you.  I just wanted to beat him senseless with a coconut tree, but what good would that have done.  So if you ever go to Ko Samui in Thailand do NOT stay at the Tropical Garden Lounge Hotel.
