It's true, I read about it in Thaivisa! It will be collected as an "un-cover charge" at all of the bars in Bangkok and Pattaya.

I think it is a phoney rumour,but it is OK with me if they keep it confined to the bars in Pattaya and Bangkok

In the past we left our brains at the airport for free, maybe they are charging for this service now!!!

Again. The entry charge for farangs to go in the national parks is being , in some cases doubled, as from 1/12/07.

In Thai the nearest word I could find for Apartheid is Yaak-awk.

Retroactive? If so, I'm not paying!

Wonder if any other countries in the region (or the world) charge their foreign visitors up to twenty times more than the rate for their native citizens? Not making a statement, just wondering. Maybe waving the Thai DL will get the lower rate?

That will then be 800 baht for some National Parks
One crumb of comfort for me, is my Thai friends are just as annoyed as me.
I wonder if waving a Thai DL plus a Yellow Tambien Baan will help?

I have been informed that foreigners holding Thai driving licences, will still be charged the same rate as Thais.
