Nong Nooch Tropical Garden offers free admission, but only to some

As usual, this doesn't appear to apply to non-Thais.

Nong Nooch Tropical Garden & Cultural Village, the largest floral garden in Southeast Asia located near Pattaya, will open with free admission for people in five provinces and five districts of Bangkok in December.

The five Bangkok districts are Taling Chan, Thawi Watthana, Phasi Charoen, Bang Khae and Nong Kham, while the five provinces are Phetchaburi, Ratchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Kanchanaburi and Chumphon. People residing in these areas need to produce only an ID card for unlimited free admission throughout the month of December.

Director Kampol Tansajja said the free admission campaign has been launched to “create happiness for Thais” and in response to the government’s policy to boost domestic tourism in order to stimulate local economies.

I know that a number of farangs have a Thai ID card (Big Boy and myself amongst them) so I would assume that our ID cards would give free admission

You're too smart to assume anything Dan!!

You are of course correct JG - at best I should have said hope rather than assume, but even that could be wishful thinking!!

The land of 2 laws and 2 prices.
One for Thais and one for foreigners.
Maybe if we all left,
The Thais would finally
Achieve lasting
Happiness.
