I've tried that senior's price in various places. Always get the same answer - "Thais only".

Fully agree when dual prices, specially when they write in thai numbers, we just turn round regardless the amount as it just gets up my nose
Re: Samut Songkhram Mini-Break. Photo Report
Locally, I simply turn around. If I've travelled, as I had for this visit, I will pay to go in once. It isn't the cost that bothers me, it is the principal, and the way they try to hide the fact.

I don’t like dual pricing either, but when the charge is only 60 Baht (£1.50), I think I’d just pay up and leave it at that.

As usual, a very enjoyable read BB. Cheers!
I don't trust children. They're here to replace us.

As I said, with me, it isn't the cost, it's the principal and the deceit. Why do they need to try to hide the fact? Are they ashamed? What happened to transparency? In this case it was to make an extra 20฿. I didn't see any other Farangs while I was there, so was it worth it for the little bit extra?

Joelle, I'm sure you meant seniors over 60.joelle wrote:At King Rama II Memorial Park the entrance fee is 40 ๔๐ baht for Thais and 60 baht for foreigners
20 ๒๐ baht for children
Also it states seniors over 50 is 20 baht
Re: Samut Songkhram Mini-Break. Photo Report
The park looks worth a visit. Sometime.
Re: Samut Songkhram Mini-Break. Photo Report
Good point. I doubt if even one attraction in this country has done a loss study calculating how many foreigners walk away. If they did their eyes may be opened!

Yes of course, sorry I got muddled up with the numbers
Re: Samut Songkhram Mini-Break. Photo Report
It was very nice, and I didn't even get to see the many exhibits.

But we’ve all lived with dual pricing all of our lives - adults pay one price, children pay (normally) half price and we just accept it!!

Child price - not really the same as dual pricing! I guess that was 'tongue in cheek'.

No not really, if you go to the cinema a child watches the same film and sits in the same seat as you and yet pays half the price and we don’t bat an eyelid because it’s always been that way - I don’t know how long dual pricing in Thailand has existed but it’s certainly been that way for a long time, it’s just how it is!!
