All the Good Mangoes Must Be in Macau?
My wife's home town has the reputation as being the best source of mangos, particularly the mango species which is the best to be served with sticky rice and coconut cream. That's the only species I know by name: nam dok mai. Her hometown is in Chaochengsao province on the Bang Pakong river. There are many different species some of which are always eaten while still green and hard. Last visit to her region we ate an older variety of mango that has fallen out of favor so is hard to find now. The flesh was orange and more firm that most others. It seemed less sweet but with a stronger flavor. This year her sister sent us a box of them. The mangos from Northern Thailand cannot compare to those from central Thailand. -

Tourism Thailand Vows to End Dual Pricing Amid Growing Tourist Backlash
They are not based on Nationality - they are based on Residency - IF you can prove you live locally and show residency documentation (driving license, resident ID card etc) - a visitor will receive the local price. That again, is not based on Nationality, but on Residency - A national of any country who can prove they are living in the EU will get the 'local price' - they just need to show their residence permit, rental contract, utility bill. driving license... showing their address in an EU country (i.e. the discount is also extended to non-EU citizens who are legal EU residents).... ... So no, its not based on Nationality. No... You are misunderstanding 'nationality based'... Anyone from the USA who is also a resident of Canada, or anyone from any other country who can show they are a resident of Canada will receive the price for locals (Canadians). Meanwhile, I am sure you do not understand the difference between 'based on Nationality' and 'based on Residency'... Agreed, it also happens in other countries, but its very rare in the West, and nearly ALL the examples people have provided from the West can be picked apart and highlight the posters misunderstanding of 'Dual Pricing based on Nationality alone' just as you have. Whereby, any local resident of any Nationally, will also get the local price... (though using the Venezia Unica City Pass or the The Toilet Pass VERITAS, available through the Venezia Unica platform) - So not based on Nationality, but local residency. As with so many of these arguments - People are putting forward examples of dual pricing and not understanding the differentiation between local resident discounts which can apply to any local resident of any nationality and Dual Pricing based on Nationality alone as its employed in Thailand. -

Crime AI Police Robot Helps Catch 14 Criminals in Thailand
So it's a mannequin with a CCTV camera embedded, so nothing that has been available for quite a few years. So why all the fuss, it doesn't actually do much.
