But doesn't "the higher rates charged to foreigners who could pay more were good for the nation." leave it open for higher rates to be charged to Thais who could afford more and be good for the nation also. If high earning/rich Thais are not charged more than poor Thais it proves the discrimination against foreigners.

A bird in the land is worth two overseas.

Obviously not considering your last paragraph question that was adequately answered in mine. Just so you understand: I don't believe anybody especially politicians without EVIDENCE.

Read my previous comment. It was clear.

I don't believe anything without supporting evidence. And in a case like this evidence from both sides required. Any politician/government employee that opens their mouth all I hear are lies until they prove it.

Not when you have to have a bowl of noodles every hour.

Like anyone anywhere knows if they got a real vaccine or a placebo. We're all in the dark as to what was actually injected into you.

None of that applies to me and yes you probably are.....

No plans to travel anywhere for the rest of my days but I signed it anyway to show my support. Best wishes.

Haven't UK vaccine passports been abandoned? Why anyone would want one beats me.

Same with British pensioners. No increases because we live in the wrong country.

Pfizer vaccine donated to Thailand Is that bureaucracy Thai or US?

How many times do I have to say it: I require no different service level than a Thai. Tell me how being a farang justifies the hospital charging me more when I don't require more. You're beginning to sound like you're on the side of this racist/discriminatory practice of dual-pricing/greed.

It never was that good. I mostly reviewed incomprehensible. Google do a far better job with much still to be improved on.

But being Thai speaking I require no special treatment. You seem to be destroying your own argument.

So if a foreigner can speak reasonable Thai, as I can after almost 40 years here, the price they pay is the same as a Thai national.

Every farang has an ???? machine next to his hospital bed. Same goes for Thai hospices. You live till your money runs out then you die.

Was this the 'flip' or the 'flop'? I've lost count!

Everywhere of course.

You are doing the local no favours in subsidising them. They will not learn the real cost of things this way but they will learn that it's OK to have dual pricing based on race/nationality/skin colour as you support it.

But it doesn't hurt to make a fuss and make sure people (Thai) around you understand the discrimination. I took my Thai adopted son and his grandmother to Mini Siam on a Rama IX birthday. My son said I as a father should enter free that day. No, they wanted the usual farang price. Grandma on hearing this went ballistic shouting and screaming at everybody calling the park racist, greedy and many expletives I couldn't repeat here. I was rather embarrassed. We didn't go in and instead went for a good meal.

I am. I was mugged here and was taken to hospital to recieve treatment for a head wound that was not treated until I woke up some 6 hours later and could confirm my willingness to pay. But I digress. I have a small 3,000 per incident outpatient insurance for accidents. This the hospital said would cover me. At check-out and pay time I was given a very detailed lengthy bill totalling 3,500 plus change. They asked for the 500 plus change saying the 3000 would be obtained from my insurers. On examining the bill later at home much of it was for things that never happened.

And what if you don't drive or have a license. Disabled & blind foreigners still to be ripped off for recieving the same goods or services.

And more often than not price lists use different numeral systems in an attempt to hoodwink the foreigner that all prices are identical. Thai numerals are rarely seen except where you will probably get a higher cost.

And seriously what has "rich" got to do with anything. Ones ability to pay "more" should not mean they have to. This double-pricing policy has only one thing driving it: GREED
