Sorry for that, But I don't really think it is the 2 price policy that is the same as having listed prices for Thai and Farang, which is done in all countrys as far as I know.
I do know it is done in the USA when you go to a national park or things like that, if you live in the state it is one price and if you live in an out of state location it is more and if a foreigner it is more still.
The same goes for insured going into a hospital, insured pays top dollar, cash pays less and then some ins. co. pay even less just because they refuse to pay the high price.
Once one of my wives had to spend a few days in a hosp. They wanted me to pay $5600.00,,they billed my ins. co. which was my labor unions ins $7400.00,, the union told them no, and told me it was paid and to pay them nothing, the union paid $2500.00.
I have had a couple of teeth pulled here, 300 baht each. Also have had some dentures made, and for a full plate was between 3000 and 5000,,same for a partial. Damn cheap, but we never go around tourist areas so I am never charged more that the locals pay.
But you can not blame the average business man, just like everywhere else,,What ever the traffic will bear.,, and like you said,,even with the higher price, you saved money and they know what those things cost in the states. So with her 2 extractions you saved here over $200.00 above what it would have cost in the states..And if those teeth were impacted it would have cost you about $1500.00 each.
