Hotel seeks retraction from guestA hotel on Koh Chang and an American being sued over his negative reviews of it have agreed to meet and try to resolve the dispute next week. Pholkrit Ratanawong, managing director of Sea View Koh Chang, told the Bangkok Post yesterday the meeting would take place at the hotel on Oct 8. The content of Mr Barnes' reviews allegedly contained accusations of slavery at the hotel and a racist comment about a hotel restaurant staff member, who is Czech. Following the contentious review, the hotel was criticised about "how badly hotel staff were treated" and several bookings were cancelled, said Mr Pholkrit. Mr Barnes checked in to the hotel on June 27 and spent one night there.
