In a stroke of brilliance, Chonburi Province is offering the "Tourist Visa", which is some sort of discount card that can be purchased for 100 baht that will offer 20-25% discounts at tourist attractions in and around Pattaya.Chonburi officials apparently failed to consider the irony of the card, which offers discounts to tourist venues that use the racist two-tiered pricing system and charge Europeans an average of 4 times what they charge Asians.
So instead of being charged 400% more to get into The Pattaya Crocodile Farm than Asian people are charged, you are now only charged 380%.
Thank you Chonburi. Your generosity is certainly a boon to Thailand's tourism.
