Nong Nooch Gardens

[Henryford]

Had a very enjoyable day at Nong Nooch Gardens yesterday, and yes over 60 farangs get in free !! on Mondays. Only 250 for the tgf. Been a while since i last went and they have added many attractions, including a very impressive dinosaur park. It was also great (for us) that there were only a few visitors, some areas almost deserted. Nice to walk around with no crowds. Luckily the rain held off. Well recommended.

Hopefully the frankly atrocious national park pricing, such as at Khao Kheow, wherein Thais currently pay 75 baht, but foreigners 250 baht will be reined in.

 

Especially ridiculous since there are no 'tourists'. So absolutely no need for the double pricing currently.

Usually the Thais increase the prices a lot if there are no customers. 100 customers have to bring the same money per day as 1,000 before covid.

Do they normally have dual pricing? What are the rates for under 60s?

I think it's 500 baht on a normal day for farangs.

500 suggests to me that dual pricing is in operation there.

They used to have dual pricing. Supposedly they have gotten rid of it, but offer (all) seniors (foreign and Thai) a discount if they are over 60.

Ah, found the articles. It only applies to foreigners living in Thailand that meet the following criteria:
 

"This is effective from July onwards. Foreigners will need to provide one of the following to get the reduced price:

-Thai Drivers License

-Resident Card

-Valid Work Permit"
