So, farangs... Let the race start.  Then run your patoot

off and beat them to the finish on the same course.  Taa Daa!

A foreign female poster that garnered lots of likes stated: "Not allowing foreigners to sign up at the same time as everyone else is clear inequality. Don’t you understand how this is seen as racist? To make us wait, for you to maybe consider us to sign up if the race isn’t full? This is why we are upset - it’s discrimination. We work and live here, we pay taxes and at the end of the day we all love to run. You’re creating a very bad image for Chiang Mai running right now".

A bit like the "subsidised domestic tour packages" Thais first [more than once] over the last 4 months

then eventually include expats!!

So on their website they write it's only for Thais, and on their Facebook page they write this is fake news and they never said it's only for Thais... Interesting
