Artben Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I love dual pricing! It saves me money since I usually exercise my right NOT to participate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Considering that Russia has been hit hard by COVID just like most countries in the world, I doubt that there will be that many people willing to risk their health for a trip to anywhere in Thailand. Just another TAT fantasy story. Likely the only thing that may see some Russian travelers is for Russia to have a real cold Winter, for a long spell, then maybe in February there may be some travelers coming to Thailand.

Andycoops Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Good luck to the Ruskies then, if the idiots come and are prepared to pay up double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before my thai wife and me went to Phuket some time ago , we had to do a Covid test at a local hospital . It was 600 thb for her and 1200 thb for me . I think in a pandemic like this , they should scrap at least the dual pricing . A thai person living in Europe f.e. gets quality vaccinations for free . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPPYNUFF Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Not the same location, but the very last time I visited Phuket, I recall being asked for 400 baht for a copy T shirt, and 1500 baht for a crayfish (lobster to some) the size of a small prawn, and 600 baht for a tuk tuk ride that I eventually walked in 10 minutes.. Never went back there, Their loss not mine. Now wherever I go and are quoted some ridiculous price, I dont get angry (thats dangerous around murderous thais) but just stare hard at the vendor and then walk away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanuman2547 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I think they are being a little overly optimistic if they think those numbers will be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just walk away is always best, I've lived here longer than a lot of Thai's and it still happens to me, well they try and I speak Thai, I happened to me the other week in a local pharmacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very disappointed each immigration office has its own policy. Anyway, maybe they want money under the table. Actually they prefer you to use an agent, to receive there commission, unless you have been a naughty boy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is topped off with virtue signaling wealthy 'show-off' farangs who actually condone it too. I mean, it's only 16 x times more expensive for a farang! It's just another subtle way of extortion. No plastic bags used this way though. Ah yes, the "more Thai than the Thais" apologists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
