This is a topic from another thread and I figured it would be better if it lived as its own thread.

I don't trust short time rooms. I don't have confidence in their cleanliness or their privacy.

I even found this quote on Stickman's blog.

but this phenomenon is far from rare and many, many short term rooms and rooms in various hotels DO have hidden cameras which are connected up to recording devices. Evidence can easily be found with all of the aeb doo (which translated from Thai means watching without others knowing) VCDs available at Panthip Plaza, although the few that I have seen all starred Thais, not farangs.
