Discrimination in pricing exists everywhere!
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2844822]Just like in Thailand, it costs a Thai $1. 10 to go to a national park. It costs foreigners 5 times as much. Should foreigners be happy to pay 5 times as much because it will change Thailand or are foreigners being taken advantage of?[/QUOTE]Yes they should and the government of Thailand is being smart by doing it.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2844822][b]I for one prefer to pay according to how much something costs without the price being adjusted for how much I may have or what I may be worth.[/b]
"Entry fee: National park entrance fee is 200 THB for Non-Thai adults and 100 for Non-Thai children, for Thai adults it is 40 THB, and for Thai children, it is 20 THB, parking for cars is 30 Baht. .[/QUOTE]Well then you must not buy insurance. All insurance is priced on categories of risk. Life, Health, Car, Homeowners you are going to get a different price than the next guy depending upon the risk you are presenting to the insurance company. So if you buy insurance (and I know you do) the idea that you don't pay for goods or services based on the price being adjusted is an inaccurate statement on your part.
Are you telling me that if your are a resident of Thailand they still charge you the non-Thai price? Because if they do not charge residents a different rate from Thai citizens then you simply correct the problem by becoming a resident. Did you know because I have an address Las Vegas, I pay less for everything in Las Vegas than visitors do? That is a policy that is conducted in the Dis (United States of America.

No Prescription Necessary?
[QUOTE=XXL;2849504]Kratom tea is legal. If you buy it from the same seller, ie near Bukhao fruit market, the strength tends to be predictable. Kratom is a real opiate that gives you a real opiate buzz depending on the dose though. If you use it for pain test your limits at first. Also, read the discussion about its addictive potential. I allow myself no more a small bottle of kratom tea each week for recreational purposes.
Otherwise I've heard of people getting prescriptions for oxycodone (special delayed onset tablets that cannot be crushed, non abusable).
Tramadol is OTC in Thailand.[/QUOTE]Tramadol is classified as the same as most opiate drugs that need a doctor's prescription in most cases. It is a mild opiate, but I would be very surprised if it was available as an over the counter medication that did not need a doctor's script. I just had a full knee replacement and tramadol is very helpful when the pain returns and my leg starts to stiffen up. Do you know which pharmacy would provide it without a prescription? Thanks.

Probably under the law a prescription is required, but this being Thailand the law isn't always strictly followed. I can't recommend a particular chemist, but try any small independent one and avoid the large chains like Boots or Watsons.
Female guide for outdoor adventure
I am 52 and from the US and plan to visit Thailand for trekking, hiking, climbing. I want to do things that involve the jungle, camping and seeing the natural beauty of the country. I would love to find a female companion to act as my wilderness, backcountry guide plus be very willing and open to sex. What is the best way to find a 20-30 yr old who is active and interested in the outdoors? Has anyone camped in Thailand in there national parks? . Trying to see if I can combine my love of hiking / climbing with a Thai hotty. I would likely stay for 7-10 days.
