Haven't been near it since I had to pay a higher entrance charge to the museum than my Thai wife.

Money's god to this nation, they don't give a toss about those who died.

Sir Rod Beattie told me several years ago that he would only run the museum at the War Memorial if it was only one price. This has changed or you visited another place.

Pathetic- how much was the difference ? 

 

Have you ever thought that there is just a slightly different level of income in Thailand?

 

So now you don’t care either - just for the sake of a dual price warrior - I don’t believe it - it’s the oldest most boring , repeated comment - move on. 

 

Visit the Commonwealth cemetery- all those Portland stone gravestones - it’s FREE .

Moving experience- go for Remembrance Day - oh you might have to pay more for a wreath ?
