Thailand National Parks

At currently THB. 40 per USD, THB. 200 to enter a national park is a cost which most of us can probably bear. However, the principle of discriminating solely on grounds of nationality seems to me to be little more than bare-faced banditry. It is merely the latest example of blatant double-pricing in Thailand, "The Land of Smiles" according to the government tourist blurb, but where it is accepted practice to overcharge foreign tourists on the grounds that "they are richer than us Thais.

" It seems that the incongruity of allowing a Bangkok businessman to drive his Mercedes Benz into Khao Yai National Park for THB. 20, while charging a western or non-Thai Asian backpacker THB. 200 to enter on foot hasn’t occurred to Plodprasop.
