I looked on Google Maps. Ao Manao is over an hour drive south from where I live in Khao Tao. Did I get the wrong place?

Ao Manao is in Prachuap town, the event looks like it will be held at the Wing 5 military base there.

Free entry to parks for Thais on Children's Day

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general ... ldrens-day

The Department of National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation will waive park entry fees for Thai tourists, but not foreigners, on National Children’s Day on Saturday to promote children's learning and environmental development.

The department announced the entry fee exemption in its statement released on Thursday, citing “the need to cultivate awareness about conservation and the importance of natural resources and the environment among children” as a reason.   

The statement instructed all national park chiefs to decide on the appropriate number of visitors they should limit on the children’s day holiday to avoid causing a negative effect on the environment.

National Children’s Day falls on the second Saturday in January with many private and state agencies holding activities or waiving ticket fees for museums, cinemas and other attractions to encourage children's learning and at the same time entertaining them.  

 Park officials normally charge 10-50 baht for Thai children and 20-100 baht for Thai adults, depending on the parks they visit. Adult foreign visitors are required to pay 200-500 baht and their children are charged 100-300 baht. 

There were 16.68 million visitors, 4.51 million of whom were foreigners, to 147 inland and marine national parks nationwide in fiscal 2016 ending in September, generating 1.9 billion baht, according to the department’s statistics published on its website.

That is a shame. I've been to many Children's Day events with my granddaughters since moving here, and it has been very noticeable that Thais have been as giving to Farang Children as they are to Thai Children. Not a nice turn of events :cry:

Well, their policy effects some Thai kids as well, because I certainly won't be taking my kids along even if it is free for them, because as an eternal alien, I will still have to pay the premium rate. Sorry, but dual pricing is something I simply won't ever come to terms with.


Anyway, you are quite right BB, usually, foreign kids are treated the same as Thai kids on occasions such as this.
