Not racism.....just them versus us lot..................
We took the train from Pattaya to Bangkok last week
Cost me 31 baht as an alien and the Thai wife got for free.
We both had sore aerses after the 4 hour journey.
Your wife got free as you choose to travel 3rd class.
3rd class is free for Thais , it is there for the poor and those in need.
Your wife would have had to pay if you would of upgraded to first or second with normal seats.
31 baht for a 4 hour train journey and you are moaning.
You deserve your sore arse

Thais cop double pricing in Australia, and don't whinge about it.
That is if they can even get a visa to go there.
And like in Thailand, it is not a racist thing as some are claiming, all foreigners have to pay more than the Aussies.
If a Thai wants to go to a government school, primary, secondary or uni, they must pay thousands more, not just a couple of dollars. And I reckon fair enough as I reckon fair enough that the Thais do it.
Another point is I believe that to get a work permit a farang minimum wage is 40,000 per month. So while there are many Thais who do earn more than this, most don't. Tourists, if they can afford an air ticket they can afford an extra couple of dollars.
Sri Lanka also does it. But ten times more. Went to the zoo, and two of us had to pay the same price as twenty Sri Lankans. I tried telling the ticket seller I was a born and bred local Sri Lankan. She asked to see my passport. I told her I didn't have a passport as I had never travelled abroad. She was having none of it, so we had to pay.
The post above also says it is the same in Chicago.
Another point is Thailand is so cheap anyway, I save thousands by living here. It honestly doesn't bother me to not receive the Thai discount. Going to the cinema here is about a tenth of what it costs in Oz for example. To see the same movie.
Maybe they just do it here to annoy the cheap Charlie's.
Your wrong on more than one of your points

This is a nonsense report.
There is no way a visa to enter the UK would be issued to a person "married" to an underage child even if she was pregnant.
I agree, Just look at the topics about all the hoops you have to jump through to get your thai wife a UK visa
there is not a chance of this story being true.

I thought this business about carrying a passport at all times had been settled.
According to previous threads a copy of passport was OK as long as the actual one was produce at police station if requested.

It will never be settled until we actually know what the law is on carrying passports.
Nobody has ever been able to quote the law as there does not appear to be one, Only recommendations.
