Great pics, nice camera! Is it a big camera or a little compact one.

You didn't see anyone doing this on the beach in a buggy did you?
Worst thing about Thailand is I cant find a decent place to go kite buggying

"Sai Khao beach in Sattahip" Where exactly is this. I find Sattahip very difficult as I keep being waved away by the Military. Does anyone know which beaches you can get to and how? Preferably show on a map. Thank you. Peter

When you are coming form Pattaya, Sai Khao beach is before the military base. There are military guards at Sai Khao, but you just have to get a pass from the small office before the checkpoint. Those midget military police will try to flex their muscle when you park to get your pass and return it by directing you here and there and telling you where you should park. A bit arrogant, but they gave up when I combined Dutch, English, German and French into the same sentence and I kept telling them I was off to Pattaya and smiled and laughed at them. Finally they got fed up and walked away!

When all else fails when you are trying to find Sai Khao or any place in Thailand, have your lady stop and ask a motorsai taxi for directions. If they know where it is, you will have a 50% of finding it. If they don't know where it is, they will still give you directions and you have a 100% chance of getting lost!

Surely you have a Thai drivers licence?

I have been to the park several times when various friends and relatives come over for hoilday and have always been charged Thai price on production of Thai licence.

Also works at Nong Nuch tropical gardens.

I have an international license that I continually doctor to keep it up to date.

[quote=chitown;659634]Million Stones Park is a touristy spot you can go to for 300 baht if you are a farang and 120 baht if you are Thai. I know that 300 baht is not much, but the double pricing in Thailand gets old as I live here. This bird would not accept my Thai married Visa in my passport as proof that I reside here so I snapped a picture of her "stealing" 300 baht from me!

I don't know if you know it but we are extremely rich compared to the Thai people. That's why others have to pay more. When they charge less for our tickets, the price for the 'not realy rich' Thai people has to be more expensive and that's what they don't want.
So let it be and pay this higher price and think about this reason.
Have a nice time in this beautiful and polite country.

You have got to be taking the piss.

I don't know if you know this or not, but there are more Mercedes owned per capita in Thailand than anywhere in Asia.

So the rich Thais that come to America and go to say Disney Land or Six Flags should pay 5 to 10 times the price that I pay. Or maybe they want to buy a meal at a nice steak house and they are given the Thai price and the the steak is $80 instead of $25.

I think not. Where I come from it is discrimination.

Like a basket I went to buy to fill with fruit for my buddies wife that was in the hospital. The guy tells me 180 baht. My wife goes to the shop about an hour later and buys it for 45 baht.

If that is what you like, I suggest you bend over, sprinkle some prickly heat powder on your bum and let some guy dry hump you in this "polite" country.

I have spent more time shuffling through immigration at Don Muang and Suvarnabhumi than you have spent in the whole country.

So after you get ripped off and cheated a few times, then you will understand. or maybe you it will turn you on, not sure.......

^^^'skydisc' , foking 'head in the sky' disc more like!
What a pile of shite!

I don't mind paying a little extra than the average Thai but last year on a drive from Udon to Chiang Rai we stopped in nearly every national park to go to a waterfall or view point and the budget was spent way early when I had to pay 400 baht 3-4 times a day for a 2 hour visit.

Glad to see now they are capping it at 200 but we'll see if that happens!
