About 15 years ago, we booked a hotel in Rayong that advertised FREE beach chairs, both on its website and booking.com, which turned out to be a lie as we were approached 5 minutes after sitting down for 30 baht per head. I would have paid for my ex and myself after the man explained that the chairs weren't owned by the hotel, but he also demanded payment for my 2-year-old who was playing in the sand. We simply got off and left.
The said hotel was located in a secluded area, and the entire beach, just across from the hotel, was always deserted. However, somehow, the man arrived on a moped to demand payment after we picked up and dusted the chairs which were scattered all over from the previous night's storm, and sat.
