guzzi850m2 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well, it's a shit hole anyway so not a great loss, been there once (when you could get in free on Thai d.l.) and not something I has to see again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertthebruce Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I was there today and was charged 200 Baht, and to be honest, its just a load of old ''Tatt''' inside.... Just the usual crap... wont be going back again thats for sure.. It was not busy, just a few ''Chinese Tourists'' following the Flag as usual.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be free entrance again once the low season kicks in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have made any difference whether he had Thai ID or not but dont you have any sense of shame in encouraging him to go to a place that is flagrantly ripping Farangs off with the racist charging of Farangs when there is no charge against Thais ?

balo Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I live nearby and been there at least 3 times for free with my Thai ID. The changes they made recently could be only temporarily , we'll soon find out, Also be aware that if you pay 200 baht the first time you'll get a floating market "passport" so you can visit for free the next time and forever. Unfortunately I lost it or else I would have been back last month. Edited March 10, 2015 by balo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandee Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Having passed by frequently I can't envisage any sum of money paid TO me that might entice me to enter either place under discussion. Interestingly the new water park further along, gives reductions on it's costly entrance fees to WP holders and Diplomats. I'm sure the diplomats need discounts for their expense . accounts. Brochures were left at our condo, with contact info, the 'phones rang unanswered and the email address was bounced. One redeeming feature was that annual tickets appeared to be at giveaway prices. It's another place I pass frequently, it is still a work in progress with never more than a dozen people using it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldPlumber Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 You can visit the worlds most expensive shopping malls for free, but to visit the Jomtien floating market to pay their inflated prices for complete tourist tat, you have to pay 200 baht. Or not. Your choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity11 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 good point balo sometimes with the right attitude and just an ss card or tax id you CAN get thai prices at places speaking a little thai may help too persistence sometimes helps or move UP the chain of command 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n210mp Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 good point balo sometimes with the right attitude and just an ss card or tax id you CAN get thai prices at places speaking a little thai may help too persistence sometimes helps or move UP the chain of command There isn't any Thai price at the floating market, the entrance fee of 200baht is just for Farangs.

Keesters Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The 200 baht passport is a joke. It's only worth visiting it once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Perhaps should adapt business strategy: get in free, but pay to leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 After you pay the entrance free you receive a Pattaya floating market passport that lets you in free anytime you return. If, by some stretch of the imagination, you would ever consider returning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, by some stretch of the imagination, you would ever consider returning. Perhaps they should use the 'try it before you buy it' approach. First entry free any subsequent entry costs. If they are so convinced it is value for money then they should make a packet.....NOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
