I think it's free for everyone. A few ago I went around Ayutthaya when this same offer was running and got in everywhere for free. I definitely recommend it as the sites are nice but to be honest not really worth the 'farang price' entrance fee.

nothing is free for farang in Thailand

Extremely long term expensive!

Does this include the navy beach at Sattahip?  200 per farang; 100 for Thai last time I went.
