What decrease?? Looks like the same (higher) prices!

Before, everyone was 20 baht local, 200 baht foreign.

What are they talking about - low season. Why wait until Oct 1, isn't this low season NOW? Nov begins high season, will they then be increasing prices.

I know, the Thai way again...

Three pounds to go into a National Park! That's more than England.

Well at least half.

PS. I left twenty years ago.

Not a chance I'd be visiting on those prices!!

my entry fees have always been slashed to zero because I either ride in on my bicycle in the early morning before the official shows up or I wait until later in the day and again no official and free entry. I mostly go to Monthathal falls because its easy to get to and nice steep road to pedal up. Okay I don't hang out all day but just use it for a quick workout.

Thailand inflation? what inflation? still free !!
