Hi guys. this was posted on my blog but I have no Idea what it says. Can you help me out? should I delete it, is it some thing bad etc

many thanks for any replies

 

 

Ich bin nun seit 2 Wochen in Thailand und was mir da bei einem Besuch im Underwater World in Pattaya aufgefallen ist finde ich eines der heftigsten frechheiten die ich bis jetzt gesehen und mitbekommen habe.

Es ist zwar schon klar das die Deutschen bei manchen Dingen in Thailand über den Tisch gezogen werden aber bei so einer Institution hätte ich echt nicht gedacht das mir da sowas passieren würde.

Ich war mit meiner Freundin und Ihrem Vater (beide Thais) vor dem Underwater World in Pattaya und wollten uns eigentlich die Tierwelt die dort ausgestellt wird ansehen.

Aber wo es um das bezahlen für den Eintritt ging ist mir glatt die Kinnlade runtergefallen.

Die Deutsche "Farang" werden da besonders zur Kasse gebeten und das finde ich persönlich unter aller Sau.

Es ging in diesem Fall nur um ein paar Euro aber sich so klassifizieren zu lassen ist doch schon übelste Sorte.

Thais müssten 250 baht bezahlen und Deutsche 450 baht.

Dies bedeutet nach dem aktuellen Umrechnungskurs des Euros zum bath das ein Deutscher wegen seiner Herkunft her 200 baht also umgerechnet 4,72EUR mehr bezahlen muß als die Einheimischen.

So eine klassefizierung wollte ich und meine Freundin und der Vater nicht bieten lassen und nachdem ich die Kassiererin zusammengeschissen habe sind wir auch wieder gegangen denn so eine Abzocke auch wenn es sich nur um ein paar Euros handelt will und werde ich mir nicht gefallen lassen.

Es geht in dem moment nur um das Prinzip das ich nicht schlechter oder besser bin als die anderen und deswegen auch nicht mehr oder auch nicht weniger bezahlen muß.

Ich von meiner Seite her verzichte gerne auf irgedwelche Atraktionen wenn man mir so entgegenkommt.

Ein abolutes NO GO für das Aquarium in Pattaya.

I am now for 2 weeks in Thailand and what struck me as a visit to the Underwater World Pattaya, I think one of the most violent insults I have seen so far, and announcements.

Although it is already clear that the Germans at some things in Thailand are drawn on the table but in such an institution, I really did not think would happen to me as something.

I was with my girlfriend and her father (both Thais) prior to the Underwater World in Pattaya and we really wanted to watch the wildlife is on display.

But where to pay for the entry went smoothly I fell down the jaw.

The German "Farang" are particularly asked to pay as and I personally find under all.

It was in this case only a few dollars can be classified but it is nevertheless already worst kind.

Thais have to pay 250 baht and baht German 450th

This means after the current conversion rate of Euros to the bath, a German because of his origin from 200 baht so must pay the equivalent of 4.72 euros more than the locals.

Thus, a klassefizierung did not want me and my girlfriend and the father can offer and after I zusammengeschissen the cashier, we are also gone for such a rip-off even if it is only a few Euros and I will not let me cast.

It's in the moment just to the principle that I am no worse or better than the others and so can not say more or less must not pay.

I shall not by my side, happy to meet me when you irgedwelche attractions Sun

A NO GO for exactly how the aquarium in Pattaya.

Follow the links and there you are Under Water World

 

Always something new to see

SS, the guy on your blogg(a German obviusly) thinks that HE,since he is GERMAN have to pay special rates, dont think that he is awere of the fact that ALL farangs is quoted higher prices.

 

So, if you please.......dont tell him that the Thai´s pay half the fee on bath busses then HE

[Khunsingha]

At first your friend complains about being called a 'fallang'. As (s)he thinks that the meaning of the word was abusive. Than

she complains very fiercely about the double pricing here in Thailand and she thinks that only Germans have to pay the

higher price to visit the Underwater world. Than she explains that she had a verbal fighting with the cashier girl because of the

higher price (s)he was asked for and left the Underwater world because she didn't liked to see it anymore.

 

From her style of writing I would guess that (s)he is still young and inexperienced. I would recommend to tell her (him) that the

double pricing is normal in Thailand (and in many other countries) as well. But it's important to tell her or him not to have verbal

fightings with Thais in Thailand

We pay more on the Baht Buses! Damn why am I always the last to know hehehe

 

On the subject of transport, what about motorcycle taxi's they make the price up as they go along, or depending on either how "white" your skin is or how drunk you appear

I don't pay more on Baht buses.

 

As far as motorcycle taxis go ...yeah they try to get as much as possible if they don't know you

but Thais have to haggle too sometimes.

 

Best is of course to know the "going" rate and settle on price before you hop on.

 

 

Two of the main things some foreigners have a hard time dealing with in Thailand:

 

- being called a farang

- the 2 tier system

 

Got to live with it if you live in LOS.

The best advice I can give in Thailand is to learn to ask 'How Much' in Thai and learn the numbers. Just these two things will get you a long way.

Bloody hell I have been away too long. How do you say how much in Thai.. is it Gee Baht or anee to ria (cricky me spollings bad) hehehe

[sangthip]

How do you say how much in Thai; rakaa tau arai? Better you take a taxi the turn on the beach= and secondroad, go out, give 20 baht and everybody will be happy.

How much? = Tow rai / Tow alai?

 

Regarding the Baht bus on the Beach Road / 2nd Road loop. Everybody pays 10B now, as my GF & her friends have testified to over the previous year.

 

However, I noticed an increase in asking price for mototaxis (40B) & privately hired baht buses (150B) during my last trip. Strangely, when we took a private BB from Soi Wong Amat to Walking Street late at night, the driver's 1st offer was 100B. 2 weeks later, my GF carried her sick mate from her room to the Naklua Road; every taxi wanted 200B to take them to the nearest hospital 5 minutes away. Thai rak Thai? Thai rak baht!

 

As for dual pricing, as Duke Nukem used to say 'It really pisses me off!'. I went to Ripleys last xmas. They advertised 800B for the full monty on their website, but when I got there, I was told that 'falang price is 1200B'.

 

On a more positive note, I went to the Sanctuary of Truth during Songkran last. The cashier proudly stated that 'same price everybody'. Good for them.

 

I can understand the dual pricing in the National Parks, as they are subsidised by local taxes, but the rest of the bastards are just screwing the walking ATM falang tourists.

 

Peace.

Go home cheap charlie German guy and never come here again. Go work and pay taxes in your country so Greece can recover and you can go there and make people crazy over there.
