I sent all my pics to the Athenee, but have no way to know if they did anything with them. I really want to report this guy if only because he thought he could take advantage of a woman traveling alone.
1. Take heart. This type of thing happens to every farang, not just a woman traveling alone.

2. The hotel did nothing to follow up on your complaint.

3. Are you certain that the meter was zeroed to 35 upon entering? Absolutely certain? Not just a, “Well I make a habit of checking”?
