FOR THE PRIVACY, SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR ROOM GUESTS

Outsiders / Those not resident at The Atlanta are not permitted to enter or wander about or use the facilities.

PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS

7. All products and sub-contractors are selected on the basis of their eco-friendliness and ecological sustainability.

ANIMAL SANCTUARY

8. The Atlanta is home to many rescued cats and terrapins, and one dog. Sorry, we cannot house any more!

The Atlanta is run on conservative principles and fosters traditional values.

The Atlanta does not hesitate to refuse rooms to persons unsuited to the prevailing ethos of The Atlanta – even if they have a confirmed reservation.

1/ The Atlanta does not welcome SEX TOURISTS, and does not try to be polite about it.

Borderline cases are not given the benefit of the doubt, but are treated as sex tourists.

Those who are borderline cases should stay elsewhere.

Guests who attempt to bring in bargirls, catamites and their like will be told in plain language to settle their bills and leave.

Remaining on the premises after being told to leave will be treated as a police matter.

The Atlanta does not ask for or listen to explanations or excuses, and does not apologise for the manner in which miscreants are thrown out.

The Atlanta also does not apologise for any mistakes it may be accused of having made with regard to the identification of sex tourists.

To keep The Atlanta private, secure, wholesome and sleaze-free for the kind of guests we welcome, room guests are not permitted to take visitors / outsiders upstairs into the building and their rooms, or into the garden and pool area.

Exceptions may be made in appropriate circumstances at the management's discretion.
Suitable visitors / outsiders may be entertained in the restaurant.

2/ The Atlanta operates a "ZERO TOLERANCE " policy regarding

TROUBLE-MAKERS,
POSSESSORS AND USERS OF ILLICIT DRUGS and
ALL OTHER ILLEGAL AND NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES

3/ The Atlanta also does NOT WELCOME

UNDOMESTICATED PEOPLE – the sort of people whose conduct and appearance give tourists in general and their compatriots in particular a bad name.

When The Atlanta states 'NOT WELCOME', The Atlanta means it. There will be no politeness about it.

4/ The Atlanta welcomes FAMILIES and prides itself on its child-friendly staff, but families are welcome only if CHILDREN are KEPT UNDER REASONABLE CONTROL.

The Atlanta is not a playground for children: children must not be allowed to disturb other guests. Families that do not keep their children under control will be told to settle their bill and leave in no uncertain manner.

5/ The Atlanta particularly welcome guests who like PETS and ANIMALS.

The Atlanta is home to many rescued cats, terrapins and one dog, all of which are well cared for. The garden of The Atlanta is also home to many squirrels, birds, etc. However, guests are not allowed to bring in pets or other rescued animals. The Atlanta already has too many rescued animals on the premises.

Visitors who object to any of The Atlanta's policies or who intend to spend their time in Thailand whoring, behaving badly, indulging in alcohol abuse and illicit drugs should stay elsewhere. The Atlanta is not that kind of place.

Tourism is not about going on a rampage through other people's country: those who cannot travel abroad without behaving badly should stay home.

On these policies, The Atlanta is not interested in dissenting public opinion or what the business world calls 'customer feedback'.

The Atlanta caters to a certain kind of clientele and that is the end of the matter.

No discussion. No compromise.
