Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
Foreign students going to a University in the USA also can get a lot of financial aid and scholarships to both state and private schools. Many get full rides JUST BECAUSE they are foreigners!! His statement also included no source and I find it completely untrue. I can name a dozen + Universities in the Boston area that ALL cost over 55K per year in tuition and fees. -

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
Thais are terrible at distinguishing between themselves and other Asians, hence why they can get in for the Thai price whereas we westerners generally can't, even if we speak Thai as fluently as David William does. -

Over 1,000 detained in Thai nominee crackdown on foreign businesses
Very true, a friend of mine bought four houses as a miniresort around a swimming pool in Phuket twenty five years ago and owns the properties/lamd through a business with the correct proportion of Than and farang shares and as they are rented out it is legitimate. -

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
In 22+ years, it has never affected me once, because I simply won't visit any attractions, national parks etc that operate a dual-pricing policy.- 1

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
Foreigners 300 Baht vs 40 Baht for the semi-divine grown-ups; alien kids 40 Baht vs. the local brats at 20 Baht. Instead of letting Thais go free; everybody could level with this as it is their country, their heritage, their national park and their museum - while visitors are requested to pay for the up keeping and maintenance. Thai logic resulting in seasoned foreigners turning around. After 38 years living, working and paying taxes in Thailand the following incident might be noteworthy. Road 2331 wanted to charge 500 Baht while my Thai grandson would have sneaked through for 20 Baht. I patiently waited for the staff to hear off the ticket, rip it across to invalidate upon which I put my wallet back and proclaimed a change of mind. The staff went ballistic, well knowing that these two tickets had to paid by the staff. There is only one way to drive the message home - through the wallet. Racism could be avoided by Thais = free, non-Thais = pay; simple as that and practiced in many other countries without argument!- 1
