Prices Thai – Farang. Why do foreigners have to pay more in Thailand?

Yeah so ? Thailand is not a Western European country. And yes, they discriminate. They wouldn't care what a European thinks of that.

Isn't it really us Europeans who discriminate? The least income in NL or Belgium is quickly 100 bath, while the large majority of Thais have to make do with 8000 to 10 000 bath. In fact, we should support them. instead. to demand that they also pay the same special prices (especially entrance tickets) for them. These are there so that they can also enjoy their culture or some relaxation.
Turn it around if most people with us would only earn 10 000 baht and the Thais would come to us with an income x4 x5 x6……?

Also experienced this day, with double menu cards, now I send the wife and children in first, I park the car at ease, and come in after 5 minutes if the woman has already ordered, and then it happens, after dinner the bill and they always give it to me, of course much more like a Thai, but then I ask behind the person who took the order, and ask who ordered, me or my wife hahahahaah you should see them look yes , back to the cash register and other account, so here's a little thought, the woman orders and pays, so no problem, question entry somewhere pay the same, wife and 2 children free, I pay, that's what I say check it out I have a drink and the wife and kids go inside, they take a lot of pictures and I look at that in the evening 555.
Kind regards, Martin

You go with the whole Thai family to a nature park or other place of interest, and because most of them already have enough worries with their other financial concerns, the good Farang also pays the entrance fee for the family.
As a thank you, he/she is often told that the entrance fee for the Farang is not 30 Baht but 300 Baht.
Also when trading on the market, even if the Farang speaks reasonable Thai, it is wise to let his Thai Partner trade alone.
Even if the Farang is still in sight, this is very decisive for the price, which will often automatically increase.
Although many would like to believe otherwise, this two-price system applies even in a private hospital, where the treatment costs for a farang are also often significantly higher.
Of course there are Farangs who go so far as to consider this all normal, although I wouldn't want to see them if they also had to pay a clearly higher price for their Thai Partner on their next visit to the Netherlands.

Liked is the farrang pricing never. As an economic given (free will to pay or not, supply and demand pricing, etc…) it is understandable. As a correction for social inequality, you could even understand it.

But why don't filthy rich Thais pay a higher price? If you answer that question, you come back to the conclusion that it remains pure discrimination and rude ripping.

My self-determined standard: If the price for farrang is 10 times or more higher than for Thai, I will stay away.

After all, don't tell me that a Thai would be worth 10 times less than a farrang 🙂
To think otherwise would be grossly insulting.
Yet numerous Thai authorities perpetuate such self-offensive pricing 🙂

Think of this as (some kind of) tourist tax !!!
In once less bad this hassle.

Tourists paying more is something that happens everywhere. The one-time visitor compared to the regular visitor who lives in the country or province.
I do get a punt from those mebs who approve the so-called farang price because the Thai are so poor. What do you think the often much poorer Cambodian or Burmese should pay?

In Thailand, a Thai-looking European simply pays the Thai price and a non-Thai-looking Thai is seen as not Thai enough. So it is racial discrimination here and it has nothing to do with poor, rich, paying taxes. And it leads to rip-off by taxis, restaurants, shops, hospitals, etc., because they see that their own government does the same.

Without exception, my Thai circle of friends has more to spend than I do. So there is no reason why I should pay more.

Although rich Thais pay just as little as poor Thais, apparently everyone thinks it's normal that farangs, rich or poor, pay more than rich Thais. So be it. However, it is not only in the museums, etc. As said, you can ignore them.
However, all products that are popular with the farang are super heavily taxed. It is remarkable that a bottle of wine from nearby Australia is 3 times as expensive here as in the Netherlands, or a pack of crispbread that costs 50 cents in the Netherlands goes up to 200 baht here. But that will also be right. In the country with the largest income differences in the world, we apparently feel more guilt than the rich Thai. He thinks that everything has been arranged very well.

The difference in price does not only occur between farang and Thai, but also between Thais themselves. My Thai wife, dressed well and beautifully, went to the market of soi Bukhao in Pattaya and asked the price of something for sale there. She thought it was too expensive. She came back home and sent her sister, from a small village in Isaan but then visiting us, to the market. He also went to that stall and bought the same product for half the price.

We just have more to spend. Let poor Thai enjoy too. I'm ashamed that I'm Dutch because they're penny fuckers, just pathetic. But it's their money so if you don't agree just don't pay. Do you even if something is too expensive anyway. And yes Thai people are chauvinistic people because they help their own people even if they are wrong they are right. And you can hang out and eat cheaply, that's why all those cheap Charlies live there. But now that the baht is strong, they are crying about everything. Good luck to the cheap charlies

That is not only in Thailand, in many countries, including South Africa, it has been even more expensive for Europe and for America for years, I understand that in Thailand people do not earn much and women in particular work very hard, but yes, it is not right. , Ineke

Dear blockers, Belgian or Dutch, it is the case all over the world that prices are adjusted for tourists and foreigners, NOT only in Thailand. I live with my Thai wife in Central Thailand, "Sara Buri" where no tourists come, it is an industrial area. In the beginning that I lived there I also experienced that the price for a product, for a farrang, was adjusted. If I want to buy something now that would be adjusted in price if I buy it in person, I solve it very simply. I will first go shopping and then I will send my wife ONLY to buy the product.! Problem solved, I don't pay anything anymore as a farrang!!
