jimmym40 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three pounds to go into a National Park! That's more than England. Well at least half. PS. I left twenty years ago.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Not a chance I'd be visiting on those prices!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 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 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
