Double pricing in Thailand: 5 national parks raise prices for foreigners by 100%

5 Thai national parks have announced that they will increase entrance fees by 100 % for foreigners, prices for Thais remain the same.

Perhaps in response to the many complaints about double pricing, particularly in national parks where foreigners are charged 5 times more than Thai people, 5 national parks decided to increase their tariffs by 100 %.

So today, in these 5 parks, foreigners have to pay on average 10 times more than Thai people.

The Facebook page of the Department of Conservation of National Parks, Wildlife and Plants published a two-page document on the new entrance fees last Friday, 30 September.
