Popular Post brommers Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 Went there once. Saw a lot of miserable looking trapped animals, ate lousy food in a tacky food court and was charged a vast price because I am a farang. No ways am I ever going there again under any circumstances. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Not the best of attractions. Still no tourists and dual pricing still in force? Did actually go when it first opened but just the one time and it was not recommended to our guests afterwards particularly if you liked to see animals in their natural habitat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SomchaiCNX Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 I still remember the untouched area that was a paradise to walk and cycle. Until, a now fugitive criminal, decided to make it attraction. Never been there, never will go 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtmartens Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It isn't so bad. Not as great as many Western zoos, but certainly not as bad as others around the world we've visited; even the Los Angles Zoo was a disappointment last year for us. Our kids like taking the trolly ride at the Safari and in general its just something to do with them outside of school and home. Showing my Thai driver's license gets me in without the dual pricing issues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as for humans, an animals food & medical / veterinary care is also necessary, and is not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I used my Thai driver's license. Just a quick point, Thailand isn't the only country to use double pricing. Even when I was stationed in Hawaii (obviously not a country) they had double pricing for residents vs tourists (military thankfully were considered residents) at most attractions. And I am sure there are many other examples - sorry to rant, I just don't understand why so many of us farangs get upset by this when its not just a Thailand issue.

Any Thai person who goes to live legally in Hawaii, a college student. a spouse, a worker can get local ID and then get the same kamaaina as full blooded Hawaiian, it is a local discount. Dual Thai pricing is a racist policy based on skin color, excused only by the insurmountable goal for most of of getting Thai citizenship. Thai drivers license wont work anymore at National parks and other attractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its raciest of the Thais; if you manage to get citizenship then you get the discount, regardless of your skin color. Personally, I stand by my overall opinion ... what does it matter?! If you can't afford to pay "X" Baht, then don't go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I could get Thai citizenship if I drop everything, stop flying, become an English teacher and devote the next 10 years of my life, but i'd rather pursue a different path. So its a Nationalist policy of dual pricing not racist. Kind of like Japan that subscribes to UN refugee treaty while actually admitting 2 or 3 persons or families per year while normal signatories admit thousands or tens of thousands. A Kon drama, Thai style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
