  1. It's outright WRONG!!!!
    Charging dual/triple prices should be against the law as it is discrimination !

    Natural parks, restaurants, tourist attractions, golf courses all have dual prices.
    I'm married to a wonderful Thai lady and with great in-law family, speak and read fluent Thai and been here since 1990 for work.

    It definitely pisses me off when they try to charge me a other rate than the locals, it does my head in.

    Try to do that to them If they come to our country.

     

    I still love to live here but by principal i will avoid those places who execute these dual pricings.

    So this 10 yr visa (that is seems no immigration staff know about) comes in two 5 yr installments !! So it's a 5 yr renewable visa then ?

     

    Where's the 5 yr visa for married or parents ? 

    I agree completely, there are many retirees who no previous connection to Thailand and they get these privileges.
    Whereas many (not yet retired) people who are married, having families and property(s)  are facing difficulties with visa(s), getting just 1 year visa

  3. Ko Samed national Park is exactly the same.
    200 THB for foreign adults and 100 THB for foreign children.
    For Thais it's 40 THB for adults and 20 THB for children.

    It's ALL about the principle, Land of smiles they say, sure we understand why !!!
    Outrages and completely wrong!

    I'm over 20 years married with a Thai lady and have 2 children, they all can enter under the Thai rate but the moron asked me to pay the foreign fee, <deleted>!

    Was always annoying the dual pricing living in Thailand. As a holiday maker now I'll give Krabi a miss along with Koh Tao for obvious reasons. Had an argument with her when I had to pay 200 thb for Samet, she didn't understand it's the principle and not the cost. 

    Agree completely, to be able to go around the island in Ko Samed, you need to enter the "National Park" which is currently guarded/supervised by the Military. To enter they charge foreigners (adults 200 THB and children 100 THB) but the fees for Thai nationals are (adults 40 THB and children 20 THB).
    Also on golf courses there are different fees for foreigners and Thais.
    It's really a shame that the government allow this practice and should be punishable by law!!!
    Try in most organized countries to charge tourists/foreigners double or more and they will call foul ;-(

     

  5. 20.000 people...this is "the majority" ?

    Yes, 20,000 telling 50,000,000 what to do.

    Bangkokians think the country ends at the city limits and they don't give a shit what the rest of the country wants.

    Today there were well over 100,000 Thais on the streets, telling Yingluck to resign.

    It's all very well her saying her party scored 15 million votes compared to the Democrats' 11 million votes, but when she knows almost the entire middle class are against her and her family, it's time to go.

    So the 5% middle and high class is worth more than the 95% poor class?

    That's what's fundamentally wrong with this country. The entire high so low so crap.

    It's indeed 2014 but sadly in Thailand they only have hunger for power and want to be in the center of attraction.

    The middle and high class are without a doubt the minority and wouldn't care less for the poor class.

    The reds going to win the elections again and let's do this all over again in a couple of years.

    These people should get arrested and prosecuted according the law.

  6. I've done my fair bit as a "farang"and without going into details, the bike"gangs" are doing more than their fair bit of contributing to the local people than any wannabies.

    Fair enough the deadbeats will be around and I'm convinced you'll have them back home as well.

    Just look in the mirror every morning after ya shower, look into ya own eyes and if it looks good I will accept the grieve you want to put on to others. :)
