What is the "Overcharged Bungalow Deposits" scam in Krabi?

Question

Accepted Answer

Budget bungalows claim additional charges for alleged room damage or "additional fees" upon checkout that were never mentioned at check-in. Owners may demand cash payment exceeding the original booking price. Many hostels in Krabi Town and beach areas charge inflated deposits then claim breakage to justify withholding refunds. Get a written itemized list of all charges before check-in. Take photos of your room condition immediately upon arrival. Request a receipt for any deposits paid. Book directly with established chains rather than independent operators when possible.
