Thread: Hotel accuses guest of stealing 4 pillows

A woman shared her experience online after a 5-star hotel accused her of stealing 4 pillows. The hotel has filed a report and the woman will do whatever she can to prove her innocence. The hotel notified her that 4 pillows went missing after she stayed in the room. The girl insists that she never took any pillows from the hotel and has evidence of the truth. After the response, the hotel withdrew the police report. Facebook user “Momo Pnomuty” stated that she stayed at a 5-star hotel in Bangkok. Momo likes to try out different hotels and often reviews her experience.


The guest checked in to the hotel and started taking pictures as she always does. She also requested for extra pillows before going to bed. The hotel experience was like other luxury hotels afterwards. After Momo checked out the hotel called her asking for missing pillows. The guest notified the hotel that did not take any pillows back with her. Momo went to spend a week in Hua Hin afterwards. When she returned home there was a notice stating she had stolen 9 pillows from the hotel. The hotel then corrected their statement stating that only 4 pillows went missing. Momo showed the same suitcase that was used when checking in to the hotel.


The suitcase was very small, and it was impossible to place 4 pillows inside. She also had security camera footage from when she was leaving the hotel showing her with the exact same amount of baggage from when she arrived. A meeting was arranged to show evidence at the police station. Momo had a lot of footage of when she was in the hotel, she took a lot of videos and pictures from the moment she arrived at the hotel. During investigation Momo waited over an hour for the security footage from the hotel. After the wait, the hotel returned stating their cameras were not working. In the end the hotel withdrew their police report stating that the hotel changed their mind and did not want to press any charges.


Hotel accuses guest of stealing 4 pillows.

I just checked her out on the internet... she can come and steal my pillows any time.

It reminded me of one time we were checking out of a hotel in south Pattaya. The wife and daughter were packing the car while I waited for the room check at reception... they reported that a pair of those stupid room slippers were missing... 500 Baht.

My bladdy wife strips every item of toiletry from the bathrooms, the soaps, toothbrushes, shower caps... everything. No way was I paying 500 Baht for these useless slippers just because she wanted a freebie.

I told the receptionist that the wife had a problem and always took slippers from hotel rooms... and I just couldn't stop her. It had happened many times before.

At the car I got the wife to take the slippers back to reception and tell them it was an honest mistake... they got mixed up with the clothes. I watched the hotel staff giving her those looks.

Don't know why, but told the missus what I'd done in the car on the way back to Korat and she went absolutely ballistic... that was a long drive home.

No sense of humour.

And here I thought I was the only person on earth to be stupid enough to do that. Thanks Mendip, perhaps its a case of " sometime honesty is not the best policy", its better to keep your mouth shut more often than not I have found.

I still laugh at the Bangkok hotel that had one of the first Indian tour groups.

When they went to do the obligatory room check as the group were checking out, they found they'd nicked the towels, bedding and even the curtains.

They claimed they "thought it was included in the room rate".



Here's some more Indians caught trying to nick stuff from a hotel in Bali.

What hotel was it?

"I will pay"

"I know you have plenty of money but this is showing disrespect" . . . nice

I hope they called the police

Sue. Easy. Hopefully she got a year's worth of free accommodation and food.

'Cultural differences' . . . Seems to happen more often than thought

According to my sources, and from recent media reports, that behaviour is typical of an average day in Pridi Patel's private office.

In Thailand? CCTV not working? Barely credible.
