If you have seen the one in Holland (in the Hague), you will be very disappointed by the one in Thailand.

I was there some time ago. I recall that there were two prices about 50Bht for Thai and 200Bht for farang. You know the drill:- farang price in english - Thai price written in Thai! Still believe that all "dual priced venues" should be priced for "residents" and "non-residents" as is done in many places overseas.

As regards the mini-land - not sure that I would reccomend it! Maybe it is worth 50Bht but not 200Bht!

Double pricing = Boycott the place. As simple as it is...
