Anybody have any info on the Royal Paradise Hotel in Phukett?
Guest friendly, joiner fees?

Guest friendly, like most of the hotels in Phuket, the security will ask for ID card of the gal. No joining fees from my experience.

Royal Paradise charges 600 bhat per night for guests.

I took a room there 3 weeks ago, no joiner fees...But actually I speak Thai to security and didnt let them to take the gals ID, cause I brought my friends that I know for sometime already...

I'm glad you didnt' have to pay joiner fee's.

I was there a few weeks ago myself.

However the official line given when I was checked in was that there is a "guest" fee of 600 bhat. This was also stated in the hotel booklet in the room.

The first time I bought a friend back they took her I.D and charged 600 bhat but did not worry when they got to know who she was.

You may get lucky and not get charged but it is not official policy.

I e-mailed them about a week ago telling them that I'll be in Phukett soon for three weeks and I'd like to stay at there hotel as long as there are no joiner fees, they haven't replied, guess they don't need the business

It's high season now, this way or another they will be full...Why to reply emails, if they can eat som tam with friends?

I got stung 600B a night for joiners there. There was a Tsunami warning and me and 4 friends wanted to go to the room until the all clear was given, they tried to charge all of us. When we protested the security guard raised his fists and it all got a bit nasty. Can't recommned it I'm afraid.
