Has he ever been rejected? I thought he just didn't meet the criteria? 

the time is applied in the same time he was also critic for Thai Govt officials.
double standard ETC,
it might be a reason for his rejection.

I don't remember Richard Barrow being a direct critic of government officials but recall he had trouble renewing his visa soon after he started the 2 Prices Thailand FB page. This could be considered indirect criticism of government policy because government departments such as the Fine Arts Department and the National Parks enthusiastically practice racial discrimination over pricing.  However, the reality is that Barrow's suggestions in this area are intended to benefit Thai tourism long-term by removing an ugly practice which is extremely harmful to the image of Thai tourism and raises insignificant incremental revenue that, in all probability, is largely misused or downright misappropriated. Indeed the head of TAT acknowledged the criticism of dual pricing last year and vowed to do something about it, although he seems to have busy with other things since then.  Avoiding this type of discrimination, even if we have gone to the trouble to get PR, is one of the reasons that we go the extra mile to become citizens, although, I for one, still avoid national parks due to the bitter memories of being overcharged in them as a foreigner.

 

It has been pointed out that I got Mr Barrow's details wrong when I said he was denied a visa after he was sacked from a university international course that couldn't get students due to COVID, having coincidentally criticised the government in an article.  I was confusing him with David Streckfuss in Khon Kaen, who, I believe, eventually got his visa sorted out.  I apologise to Mr Barrow, if he reads this thread.

While I respect his bravery here, it was rather short-sighted when he was thinking of becoming a Thai PR or Citizen.

I believe it is local discount, which to be fair, happens in many countries. For example, I was charged 5,000 baht more in a Melbourne golf course than an Australian friend from another Australian state. 

I don't think it is racial, but xenophobic. It would be racist if I was charged more, due to my colour, when producing my ID card, but I've never heard of this happening.

I didn't know about that story. Interesting.

Maybe just xenophobic but given the erstwhile dependence on foreign tourism and the bad will it creates with foreign tourists, I don't see it as a very constructive policy for Thai tourism. The sneaky way they do it by putting the Thai prices in Thai numerals also creates more resentment. Thailand also provides no local discount for foreign PRs which many countries that practice dual pricing do.

 

But anyway we are all citizens or on the way.
