Hotel on Koh Chang 'ready to settle' in libel saga with guestSea View Koh Chang, a hotel on Koh Chang in Trat that is pursuing a defamation suit against an American teacher based in Thailand over his allegedly unfair reviews of the hotel, said on Wednesday it is ready to negotiate a settlement. This is why the hotel had to file charges against Mr Barnes, Mr Pisut said. Mr Barnes checked in to the hotel on June 27 and spent one night there, Mr Pisut said. A quarrel erupted when Mr Barnes refused to pay a 500-baht corkage fee applied for gin he had brought to the hotel, Mr Pisut said. Mr Barnes posted reviews of the hotel on the internet including four reviews on TripAdvisor since June 29, Mr Pisut claimed.
