    Is this where you start claiming that I'm saying things that I'm not? All I've done is state dual pricing goes on in the UK and given you the example of universities in Scotland and asked if you consider this racist that residents of Scotland pay nothing where as residents of Thailand, England and Timbuktoo have to pay university fees of up to £9,000???

    How many courses do you think there are running right now at tertiary education institutes in the United Kingdom which have two-tier pricing? How about Australia? How about the States? How much money do you think flows into those places from Thai pockets? How do you think that figure compares to all the extra 180 bahts which tourists have to pay? Which do you think represents a greater transfer of money? if there is a disparity, do you think that is justification for calling the country which is a net beneficiary racist?

    (And I do realise that just thinking about university is a novel challenge for you but see what you can do.)

    i think this is fairly typical of the difference in pricing. Recruiting overseas students is a significant part of revenue-raising for universities now so how is that meaningfully different (other than being many orders of magnitude greater) than your paying 5 baht instead of 2 baht to have a piss? And just for comparison, one Thai student on that course for one year is equivalent to over 130,000 foreigners (or about one every 4 minutes, 24 hours a day for a year) paying the extra 3 baht for a slash. Who do you think comes off better here?

    In light of your recently acquired knowledge that there are places called 'universities' and that people have to pay to attend them at different rates according to their nationality, is there anything you'd like to change about 'the undeniable truth', piwanoi?

    Couldn't you chaps be awfully good fellows have this pedestrian banter about 2 tier pricing on another thread?

    Racism is a serious and complex subject.

    Tuition fees for a university in Piwanoi's hometown -


    Tuition fees for home/EU students commencing their studies in September 2015 will be approximately £9,000 per annum. Tuition fees for international students will be £19,000 per annum.

    Chemical Engineering (3 Years) [BEng] - 2015 entry | The University of Manchester
    Thais will have to pay GBP 19,000 per year, Brits pay only GBP 9,000 per year. A big difference. I think by anybody's standards, that's dual pricing. The University of Manchester doesn't seem to be bothered about being "prosicuted" for racism. They even have it displayed on their website for the world to see.

    WTF have I ever mentioned Uni's? ,all I have said that here in Thailand there are Hundreds if not thousands of signs outside public and private venues that display prices that are based on race ,of course if you think I am a liar by all means say so ,then of course we can take this nonsense a little further cos I am quite willing to bet my hard earned money(100 ,000 baht (yeah I am fucking serious ) that I can take you to 3 such places within 40 minutes drive of where I live in my mud hut as Yaso puts it so either put up or STFU

    Hey Brain dead , Still waiting for answer to my question (3 times) in another thread (should the UN bomb Israel) as to just why you think that nuking Israel is a good idea "end of story" is how you put it if I recall ,could it be that you open your cavernous mouth before actually thinking of the consequence of what you are actually saying?

    No we don't, an even larger issue as far as I'm concerned rather then paying and extra 20b at the zoo is that we can't own land for example.. But I think some of the confusion comes from your response to one of my previous posts you quoted as it seems you suggested in that post that we have equal rights to Thai's in Thailand.

    Extra 20 baht ? FFS get real and read the article in my post #96 of course if you are of the opinion that its a load of bollocks by all means say so and cotact the author to say the same ,just what is it with you kunts, the truth is there for all to see and yet for some strange reason you all simply refuse to accept it (apart from Nigelandandjan) who simply says any one who thinks we are treated as equals here in Thailand is living in "La la land " and ain't that just the truth

    Really FB? it would help me some what if you would please cease from trying to defend the indefensible with your pathetic excuse's , we both know the dual pricing signs based on race are in operation here all over Thailand at public and private venues ,so instead of saying there are ways to beat them , why not just tell the fucking truth and agree that what I write is the truth ,or is that just too much to ask? .

    I think the whole two tier pricing argument is just a red herring and would only apply if for example a British born Thai with British citizenship was charged extra for tuition or whatever.
    That would be charging based on his race.
    As it stands he wouldn't, so it's a moot point.

    Pi so this dual pricing you keep harping on about, how does it work as i'm a bit confused, when i go shopping to the market, or go to buy a car,motorbike etc, how is it that i can buy cheaper than my wife and her friends.

    So does that make Thais racist against each other, or do they just shaft Thais were i am.

    Piwi is drunk early tonight. I hope he is not too drunk to post a photo of the price lists at his local establishments. I wonder if there are skin colour charts beside the price lists so retailers can accurately measure customers skin tone before charging them the appropriate rate.

    Some Photo's Nervosa? no you can come yourself with your camera along with your 100gs bet and I will gladly bring mine ,the wager is quite simple I can take you to 3 very famous public venues were there are signs right out side the paying in kiosk which say's that we have to pay more than double what a Thai has to pay to gain entrance ,I could meet you any week day at the "Coffee corner" at Prakonchai bus station I say weekday cos I'll have to go to to draw my 100 gs out from Bangkok bank in Ban kruat (its on our way) to cover my side of the wager ,I have a blue and silver Izsuzu 7 seater reg #9253 if we could arrange a time I'll be sat in my car right outside Steve's Cafe ,for me this will be the easiest 100gs I have made since I had my Son Martin put 200 quid on in the UK on Ballymac Vic at the long odds of 10 to 1 to win the Champion stakes at Shelbourne Park greyhound track in Dublin , the simple question is do we have a bet? yes or no? .
