We've got some really major issues with the host of this property and you need to leave immediately
so i met here at my apartment
obviously on the pool deck and this morning i got this really cryptic email from airbnb
saying hey we're contacting to let you know we're canceling this reservation you need to
contact us immediately i'm going to call you at 8 o'clock in the morning and yeah you need to go
and i'm like what and so i emailed back and said call me now and this woman called me
and she's like hey no fault of your own we've got some really
major issues with the host of this property and you need to leave immediately we'll help you
book another airbnb i'm like no i'm having to do a bunch of stuff with thai immigration and
i need this certain form and i don't want to have to deal with another airbnb host for it
so if i'm going to leave i'm going to book a hotel and so they're like yeah we'll
we'll compensate you for that we'll refund you fully on this but man how freaking weird like
i mean i literally just got off the phone with her like five minutes ago and so i'm kind of
processing this and i've got to jump on and book a hotel for the remainder of the time i'm here
in bangkok but i'm just like wow what is going on so weird and i tried to like say look i'm
fine with the host and she kept saying look i can't tell you why but we've made a determination
that it's not safe for our clients or whatever and we're informing you that you need to leave we have
not informed the host yet that we're terminating this as soon as you leave we will inform them
i'm just like wow okay so that that's that's what we're gonna do hey look there's the train so
that's what we're gonna do we're gonna i'm gonna book a hotel right now i'm gonna get online try to
book a hotel and uh pack up and get out of here i mean this is nuts i'm like i don't even know what
to think i've never had anything like this happen with me before i booked a ton of airbnbs i love
this little place this little two-story apartment here it's wonderful but i gotta go so yeah
so i've only stayed here for a few days but this really is a great little place
it was really clean it was laid out nicely had great internet great amenities i hope
stuff gets resolved and maybe i can stay here again in the future okay luckily i packed light so
i'm getting all packed up here i've already got all my clothes in there
okay i'm all packed up i'm getting ready to go out i actually contacted my host i
have a pretty good relationship with them i wasn't like worried about them
and they're gonna have me just leave the key card in a little mailbox airbnb was
like just leave it in the room if they have to bust the lock that's on them and i'm like
i'm not going to do that to these people i don't know what they did wrong i have no idea
you know what they did wrong but i mean it's it's like we're in the middle of a pandemic
their situation is terrible over here i actually feel really bad about it i hope they already
got the money um that i paid for the unit but yeah so i'm gonna go out and grab a grab a grab
car which is thailand's version of uber and head over to my hotel i booked the hotel for 27 days
so airbnb is going to foot part of the bill plus they're going to refund me on this unit
and so yeah it is what it is but it sucks i really like this unit um yeah so anyway let me go
all right goodbye to this condo that served me well i really
really liked it like i said but i don't know what's going on with them in airbnb
but airbnb was pretty adamant that i get out so i'm just gonna follow that direction
okay so we booked our grab i'm heading out here right now to go get it
uh it's 110 110 baht for the ride so that's about a little bit over three dollars and you know
it's like a city like new york and i'm gonna go i think like seven kilometers i'm two bts stops down
so i don't know how to pronounce it though i'll put the name up here of
the neighborhood i'm going to be in yeah so that's what we're doing we're going to a hotel
for those that don't know grab and bolt are thailand's version of uber and lyft grab is
more like uber you can get a ride but you can also get food delivered as you see right in
front of me here and bolt is more like lyft it's cheaper but all they do is rides so as
you can see from this taxi ride even though bangkok is on lockdown it's still pretty active
during the day things are still open you can move around the city and buy essential type
of things you can get street food as well but here we are at the hotel so let's get checked in
hello how are you so welcome so we're we're gonna go ahead and stay at the hilton for
27 days so it'll be pretty nice i'll show you the room in a minute and i'll let you know
why i decided to stay at hilton instead of renting an apartment or trying to get another airbnb
i got a pretty good reason plus airbnb is footing part of the bill so uh
you know why not stay at the hilton if you're enjoying this video please hit that thumbs up
button also make sure you hit that subscribe button so you don't miss any of my weekly videos
okay hopefully this is good look they got the little seal thing saying that's clean
all right let's see if we can get some lights on here
uh yeah i gotta put this thing in here all right oh okay okay we got a bathtub
let me put my let's put my stuff down and we'll do a quick tour here huh
okay this ain't too bad i can i can rough it in a hotel for a few days let's open
up the curtains here not a not a bad view not as good as my other view i don't think
kind of liked having the pool and all that stuff i can see a lot of things going on down
there though all right so let's get a let's get a quick tour here here we'll go we'll go wide angle
all right so here we go here's a little bedroom area a little seating area that's kind of cool
i like that a little lamp right there and then over here we've got a desk which is cool
all right now i got access to room service which i kind of like that
tv i'll probably have some us channels and then this is one of the things about thailand that
happens in a lot of different places even a lot of apartments there's like there's glass in between
the bedroom and the bathroom so you can look into the bathroom if you want which i've always found
kind of funny looks like this is probably a little refrigerator yeah see if they got anything in it
of course they're going to make me spend my money because i know i'll wake up at like 2 in the
morning and i want some chocolate or something all right so in the bathroom it looks like we've got
oh look there's a shower here okay so we got a stand-up shower so if someone was in there they
could just watch watch me shower big rainfall rainfall shower head big giant soaking tub i'm
not really a bathtub type of person but so i'm going to assume that means this is the toilet yeah
so toilet area is separate a little bum gun yeah what a freaking crazy crazy day so
why did i choose to come to the hill so i need what's called a tm-30 to process my immigration
paperwork i mentioned that before i think when you're trying to deal with an airbnb host to
do that it's kind of a pain because they're not really used to doing it they're supposed to do it
but a lot of them don't do it but i have to have one so i knew if i came to a normal hotel chain
i'd be able to get a tm-30 because they're used to filing them they filed them on
everybody who checks into the hotel and they told me hey come back this afternoon
or tomorrow and we'll have your tm-30 for you so i knew i could get the tm-30 quickly and easily so
that's why i elected to go ahead and just do the rest of this month in bangkok in a hotel
airbnb offered to pay for part of it i'm going to get a refund on my airbnb so i'll have that money
and so it's not really going to cost me that much to stay in a really nice hotel and my room's going
to get cleaned every single day and it comes with free breakfast so whoo what a day what would you
have done if you were in my situation would you have just stayed in the airbnb would you have done
what i'm doing get a hotel would you have booked another airbnb how would you have handled it or
would you have just hopped on a plane and got the heck out of thailand let me know in the comments
