SoilSpoil Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Somehow I find it hard to believe that 70 to 80% of all rooms are pre booked for the coming 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabis Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Looking at the amount of latest crackdown closing rate of hostel/guesthouse accommodation, for once the 70-80% reserve rate could actually hold a bit water - though the 50K amount of available accommodation would be off the mark in that case x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be, but it doesn't mean much. A lot of online bookings nowadays can be cancelled until a few days before without penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cynical when its obvious someone has sat down and rung at least 1,000 Hotels,Resorts and Guest Houses to ask the question.Amazingly he /she undertook the same task last year and came up with the same result !

I've just arrived and my room is booked for the next 3 months and I made the booking some three months ago. To get a tourist visa, confirmation of hotel booking is needed.

ZeVonderBearz Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Evenings and mornings are cooler. Daytime is brutal in the sun. Plus no rain means the mountains are quick becoming obscured by smoke clouds. Cool season would be paradise here if it wasn't for the pollution.

And this is the report, on another forum, a Hotel owner form CM basically blew apart. I hope they get some people from somewhere, but waving pom poms and saying its good in HOPES it will be ........... is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingmai331 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Cool season would be paradise here if it wasn't for the pollution. Agreed. But the number of long-term tourists and retirees would triple overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
