Pattaya Travellers: Beware of Maneerat Transport & Travel (on Soi Post Office)

In March, 08, I took a 7 days/6 nights Cambodia package tour with Maneerat Transport & Travel in Pattaya and that was a horrible experience. When you are in Pattaya, don't go to this "dark travel house" for your travel needs.

Here are the mishaps:

Pattaya Travellers: Beware of Maneerat Transport & Travel (on Soi Post Office)

In March, 08, I took a 7 days/6 nights Cambodia package tour with Maneerat Transport & Travel in Pattaya and that was a horrible experience. When you are in Pattaya, don't go to this "dark travel house" for your travel needs.

Here are the mishaps:

Visas

I was wondering if anyone ever had problems with their visas expiring and NOT noticiing it until you'd already arrived at your foreign destination. Do you get a renewal notice or something when your visa is about to expire?

Foreign currency

I've heard that some countries don't like to deal with foreign currency and will really give you a hard time if you try to pay for anything with a US dollar, or Euro. Egypt, in particular, comes to mind. I've even heard that they'll charge you a surcharge to bring it into the country. Did I understand that right? I would like to know for sure before I consider making a trip there.

Differences in hygiene

One of the things that trips up tourists, especially from the United States, but other developed countries as well, is the differences they encounter when traveling, in hygiene. For example, toilets. In some countries, restroom facilities are clean and beautiful. But in some developing countries, facilities may be more rustic -- hole in the ground, a drain next to a water spout, for example. It is always best to be prepared and learn about these things in advance so there are as few shocks as possible.

Brimfast House B&B, Chichester UK

The plan was to travel to the Goodwood Revival last year. The bombing disrupted our plans. I cancelled a reservation with this establishment well within their stated terms (I gave them over two week’s notice, where their Website stated a full refund of our 110 pound deposit if given a week's notice). After the fact, they have altered their Website to state “no refunds available for Goodwood events.”
The ongoing problem is fully documented with copies of e-mails.
Neither Marion nor Charles of Brimfast House returned any of my many e-mails over these past months. Fraud Squad is next...

BE CAREFUL WITH MALEV COMPANY

In September I traveled from Portugal to Bulgaria. I arranged my flights as following:
Faro – Amsterdam on September 3, 2005 by TRANSAVIA
Amsterdam – Sofia on September 4, 2005 by MALEV
Sofia – Amsterdam on September 13, 2005 by MALEV
Amsterdam – Faro on September 13, 2005 by TRANSAVIA

I bought the return ticket Amsterdam – Sofia – Amsterdam in August 2005. I had to change the date of my traveling back from Bulgaria to Portugal. In the MALEV office in Sofia I paid Euro 50 to change the day of the flight Sofia – Amsterdam from September 13, 2005 to September 15, 2005. Online I paid Euro 100 to change my day of flight from Amsterdam to Faro.
