It must be a good museum.

Did you get in for Thai price with a Thai DL?

There is a thread on this already. Show Thai drivers licence and be treated like an almost-native.

apply thai logic here, farang get more enjoyment out of it than thais

Would you be happy to pay the higher price, if you knew that Thais were paying that as well? Forget about others, forget about how much money other people have, spend or are willing to spend. This is about you. Do you think it is worth the money they ask you? Or not?

Price discrimination is used all over the world. Even large hotel chains here have different rates for different nationalities. Even the hospitals. You just don't see them listed on the wall. The logic is, that if everyone pays the Thai price, they will not make enough money to survive. And if you charge only a farang price, the Thais won't come, and you will not make enough money to survive.

Or as the internet says: "by determining the optimum prices in each market segments, the discriminator will obtain higher revenues than under a single price strategy." And in a lot of cases in Phuket this means the difference between survival or not.

Anyway, as long as you are not paying their bills, you're not to worry about their income either. Forget about how much money they make, or spend, or not make. Not your business. Do you think it is worth the money they ask you? Or not?
