Worse Than Double Pricing

[JimmyTheMook]

Thai's pay 200 for general seating

foreigner's 1000 Baht !!!

Before they took over the stadium, VIP was Bt600/700 and came with a beer or two I seem to remember. They hiked prizes, stopped sponsoring fights with decent prize money after about 6 weeks of taking over and started their rip off techniques.

People won't go due to their tactics and I am not surprised.If they went bust and buggered off back to the USA it would not be a moment too soon.

Fairtex owner's a Thai. He opens his first Fairtex in US but he's 100% Thai.

So that makes the 500% surcharge OK ?

[Jingthing]

Same type of monkey business in Bangkok with the boxing.

[soundman]

Sounds a little like the baht bus scam.

[CHdiver]

Sounds like Unfairtex then. But if a Farang Boxer get's 5 time the prizemoney of a thai; then I'm all in.

Take a look around. Which place in Thailand treats Farang and Thai fairly? You go to Noong Nooch Park, they charged a lot higher for a farang than a thai.

The same goes to Pattaya underwater world, and in Bangkok, the Grand Palace, 250Baht for farang and free for Thais?

Even when you go to Ko Samet National Park fee, check out the difference between a farang and a thai.

So, is there any other way we can prevent this killer pricing? I doubt so.

.....have you ever witnessed the stink Thais give the supermarket checkout lady in U.K. !!.....If their buy one get one free is not valid!!....

Simple - thai buys the ticket for you. (only works if the tickets look all the same)

Yes you can, just don't pay it. Refuse, deny them revenue. By paying it you are de-facto condoning the rip off practice.

Or if you've lived here a while and have a thai drivers licence - all you do is show them and you get thai prices.

Works for us and our other farang friends everytime

[timekeeper]

its not exclusive to Thailand, i went to visit the museums in York UK, locals park free and access free, i had to pay for everything. in Florida prove you are a local and you will get discounts on admissions and other concessions at all the major theme parks.

[TopDogger]

Same type of monkey business in Bangkok with the boxing.

And Samui.

[thaimate]

Maybe they don't like the look of you at Nong Nooch j/k

We go at least once a month with our daughter with another friend with his daughter, and we've never been charged farang prices
