Popular Post webfact Posted July 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2023 In a recent move by the Thai government, entrance fees for foreign visitors at historical landmarks have been raised. This amendment affects both registered historical locations and 72 national museums across the country. However, the fees for Thai nationals will remain consistent with the rates set in 2008. A breakdown of the new rates is as follows: Historical Parks: Thai Nationals: 20 baht per person Foreign Visitors: 120-200 baht (up from 100 baht) Archeological Sites: Thai Nationals: 10-20 baht per person Foreign Visitors: 80-120 baht (up from 50-100 baht) Regarding national museums: Small Museums: Thai Nationals: 10 baht per person Foreign Visitors: 80 baht (up from 50 baht) Medium Museums: Thai Nationals: 10-20 baht per person Foreign Visitors: 120 baht (up from 50-100 baht) Large Museums: Thai Nationals: 20-30 baht per person Foreign Visitors: 200 baht (up from 100-150 baht) Furthermore, the government has scrapped the foreign language audio guide fees at four particular sites: Historical Park – Sdok Kok Thanom in Sakaeo, Wat Kudi Dao in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Nakhon Nayok National Museum in Nakhon Nayok, and Surin National Museum in Surin. Tipanan Sirichana, the government spokesperson, emphasized that the unchanged fees for Thai nationals aim to support education, preserve cultural heritage, and bolster national identity without adding tourism-related financial pressures on the Thai populace, reported Khaosod.

Popular Post Jacques Clouseau Posted July 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2023 Last time I visited a national park was in Chiang Dao. The ranger at the entrance asked me for 400thb. I said no (because I knew it was only 200thb for white people) He said no problem, for you it's only 200thb. Lol Price was something like 20 or 40thb for locals... Trail was pretty average and extremely dirty (plastic everywhere). A few decent viewpoints at the top but that's about it. I'm done with Thailand's racist policies and lack of added value. Why should I finance their national identity bolstering BS when in return they won't even clean their parks properly? Never again. Trails are much better in Laos anyways. Too bad Pita Charoenanatikhornwhatever couldn't make it to the top. He might have had better ideas. You know the kind that wouldn't damage the tourism industry even further. 23 9 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Photoguy21 Posted July 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2023 And they are hoping to get 40 million tourists this year? Sure increase the prices, make a two tiered system and tourists will flock to the country. They cant seem to understand the basics. 8 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andyfez Posted July 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2023 It's waterfalls and hot springs that get me most. Recently I went to a hot spring in Chiang Mai area. Apart from hot smelly water there was no beauty to this site. I refused to pay, and we went off to a 'free' waterfall for a nice lunch. 7 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
