sirineou Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I am not sure if it applies everywhere or even if it's because they just don't care enough to argue about it, But everywhere we go here in Isaan that requires "Farang" pay a fee different than Thais my wife argues that I am Thai, shows them my drivers licence and yellow book , and so far I never had to pay "Farang" price at area parks. Does not hurt to give it a try, what do you have to loose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I'm not willing to ruin the fun day at the beach by having the ole lady do the talking for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be picky, but it doesn't say anything about 'overnight', simply 'Thais only allowed in the area' Obviously not enforced, a good thing. Unless of course you show up khee nok or obviously under the influence, gives them discretion to refuse you entry ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I think TAT wrote this because they have some "hotels" on the beach, but only Thai citizens are allowed to stay there overnight. Or maybe this is the official rule, but they allow you to come in if you come with a Thai. Either way, you can not stay overnight if you are Farang mug.

foreverlomsak Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Unlucky, about 10 years ago I must of got the "prize of the century". Drove the wife, our kids and some of the extended family to national park which had a water feature. Notice board showed prices per Thai, per Farang (times 3 if I remember correctly) and per car. OK I thought it's been a bit of a nightmare finding the place, I'll not rock the boat over my higher price. The gate attendant counted the Thai's, think it was 6 kids and 3 adults, plus car, XXX Baht, (OK here goes I thought), he looks at me and says "You take here, you Free". Gob-smacked, never happened anywhere else, in fact the mark-up in some other parks has been so high for me the wife has refused to go in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
