Tourism Thailand Vows to End Dual Pricing Amid Growing Tourist Backlash
This is a thread about the rights and wrongs of dual pricing. It looks like your expereience of national parks is extreely limited and yyou are in no position to make comments like "they are not worth it? In the post above you say "Poor maintenance in my opinion." - yet you don't seem to understand how this connects with dual pricing DNP manages the national parks very badly and one of the "symptoms" of this is dual pricing. The parks are managed by a combination of government funding and entrance fees and they are very cagey about precisely how much - however the dual pricing actually deters visitors and has a detrimental affect on the income - how it is spread around is another problem. Linked to dual pricing is the blanket pricing of national parks - almost all either charge 200 or 400 baht - this fails to take into account th "value" of the attraction whether it is a 200 yrad path to a waterfall or several thousand square kilometres of virgin rainforest. Thailand has over 150 national parks and has made little changes in funding over the years to deal with the increases in area now covered. Camping - almost all national parks have campsites - they also have encroachment by businesses running camps and bungalows inside the borders of the parks - often the military - these show how the DNP could be making money from visitors - rather than dual pricing the DNP should be organising how visitors use the parks - set up profitable campsites that take note of conservation and the environment and bring in extra income for the parks - but they fail miserably to do this. I have have visited dozens and can tell you they ARE worth visiting. the problem is how they are managed and dual pricing is one part of this - sos just dismissing them as not worth visiting is just ridiculous and misses the point of the thread. -
