The sign at the ticket booth at Dream World lists the various types of tickets you can buy and the prices, all in Thai with the prices in Thai numerals. Then at the bottom, in large bold letters it says something like "TICKET 450 ß." Of course, I could read the Thai prices and I think the highest price for the best ticket you can buy was 360 ß or thereabouts.

Yes, the dual price is ubiquitous in Thailand. But I really don't mind (too much!). I figure as a westerner, I am extremely blessed financially compared to the Thai people, so why should I gripe about paying a bit more than they do? Even at their farang prices, it's still a good deal compared to the U.S.
