When staying at a hotel in Bangkok, you may be asked for a deposit (deposit).
Depending on the grade of the hotel, it is normal to ask for a deposit on the order of 1000 ~ 3000B.
Since it is a security deposit only to the end, it will be returned at the time of checkout, but depending on the hotel you will be asked to pay by cash or you will be told that "please show me the credit card to make payment", the procedure of deposit I will.
I would like to introduce the deposit mechanism of this hotel this time.

What is the hotel deposit (deposit)?
Deposit is the deposit.
The system that the hotel side seeks guarantee when the guest breaks things in the guest room, takes it away, and does not come to liquidation even after the checkout time.
Amenity goods such as shampoo and rinse are free to take home, but some guests take home dryers, electric pots and others.
Also, it is impossible to collect the amount after the guest checked out when the hotel is broken or not usable at the place not noticed by the hotel, so check the deposit for those times It is a mechanism to ask for when you are in.
Method of paying hotel deposit
The hotel deposit is paid in cash and credit card payment.
Cash payment
When we ask for hotel deposit (1000 ~ 3000B degree) at check in, cash will be paid.
When you receive "Certificate of Deposit" and check out the interior at checkout, if there is no problem, it will be the flow to get the amount deposited in exchange for "Certificate of Acceptance" returned.
"Certificate of receipt" is handwritten like small receipts, from small ones, even printed on A4 size paper, there are various forms depending on the hotel.
This "Certificate of Deposit" is necessary for receiving a deposit, so keep it in a safe place.
pay by a credit card
Regarding the use of credit card, there are 2 kinds of patterns.
Both will present a credit card at check-in, but the 1 one is a case where you do not charge a deposit by only recording credit card information.
2 The first case is to charge a deposit amount with a credit card once and cancel the request if there is no problem at checkout.
As long as it is a credit card, you can raise the invoice amount and also the other person's personal information so that the hotel side seems to prefer more to this place than cash payment is.
Points to keep in mind
In the case of cash payment, we receive explanation of deposit, we have paid since accepting it, but we have a feeling that we proceeded, but in the case of credit card payment, that point may be ambiguous.
I understand if you are told that "Since deposit is required, please submit credit card", but in some cases, there are cases only to be said "Please show me the card", so I have not noticed until now Some people may have been in deposit procedures.
If there is no explanation, I think that it is only checking credit card information.
The problem is the case of forgetting the cancellation procedure of deposit request!
There is no problem if it is an 1 first case to refrain from card information, but it is rare if it is a case of canceling after requesting 2 the first time, the hotel staff may forget to cancel the deposit amount.
In that case, the deposit amount will be withdrawn and you will be paid an extra amount without knowing it, so be careful.
If you handed in a credit card to the hotel staff, you need to check the details to be issued at the front desk at check-out and see if the deposit amount is not charged or the cancellation process is properly done there is.
In case of anxiety, you may ask the hotel staff about direct deposit.
Do not forget to check at checkout
How was it?
In the case of cash payment, since the deposit surely comes back, there is no anxiety, but the person who returns home as it is will increase Thai baht for refund, so I would like to use it at shops at the airport's duty-free shop and use it up .
In case of paying by credit card, let's check out the details carefully until the last minute.
When checking out, something is getting hasty, but forgetting to return a deposit does not happen so frequently, but you can also prevent trouble if you look over the details.
