[Purdey]

So a foreigner gets on a bus and pays five times more than the Thai who arrives in a Mercedes Benz because the foreigner is rich? 

Got it.

They can start by ending dual pricing at hospitals. I will believe it when I see it.

I had to have a hernia op at Prachuap Khiri Khan Hospital, government, about 7 years ago. I was in for 3 nights and paid less than a person from our village who had exactly the same op and stayed one night less!! What dual pricing??

London museums and parks all free for everyone.

How is this possibly relevant?  Economic demographics of the two countries are totally different both internally and in relation to tourists too.  Besides the UK is socialist-cum-communist and Thailand's philosophy is principally self-sufficiency and less state interference.
