Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
I agree to a certain extent, but keep in mind, that given countries like Singapore also practice dual pricing (though only in a very limited number of settings) it's hopeless to expect a much poorer country like Thailand to give up on it altogether. The best we can hope for is that some private establishments end the practice, that public hospitals might eventually end it as well (or only apply it to tourists) and for most other dual pricing venues, there will be more regular "fee free" days, such as around the New Year, and residency based pricing at others. We can also hope that in future, rather than using racial profiling, ALL visitors to any dual pricing venue will be required to furnish proof of Thai citizenship, failure to do so means paying the foreigner price. This is exactly the way they do it in Malaysia, Taiwan and certain other countries - you show proof of local citizenship, else you pay the standard price (they don't call it a "foreigner price" there). The Grand Palace, being a site of national significance, is likely to continue charging only foreigners and extend free entry only to Thai nationals on a more or less permanent basis. I think as long as the foreigner entry fee is dropped down to like 100 or 200 Baht and they actively enforce the Thai fee free entry option by requiring everyone claiming to be Thai to prove it via way of their national ID card or passport or birth certificate (for young children) this is OK. Again, while I don't like dual pricing in any form, with Singapore and Taiwan (2 rich countries) imposing it, there's zero chance Thailand will completely eliminate it, regardless of the economic impact on Thailand you mentioned above. -

Moroccan Man Wanted for Murder of Dr. Sammy, Owner of Well Known Chiang Mai Clinic
A simple traffic accident, it was not. Not that you wouldn't agree that there was much more to it than just a traffic accident. But that sure sounds incomplete given the circumstances of what he did and how he evaded and even put up a family employee to take the fall for him, etc, etc, etc.... I agree, not murder. But not a traffic accident with no liability either. I don't know details about Thai laws, but in my mind, he would have many charges against him, including Involuntary Manslaughter. -
