It is going up by 50 baht, from 250 to 300. That is only a 20% increase not 300%

It's 300% for AO because she refused to enter because the price was not what she expected.

I'd forgotten that AO refused to go in because the admission price was higher than than listed in her guidebook. Talk about penny-wise and pound foolish!

It isn't worth seeing for free in my opinion.

I miss AO. Her "unique" perspective was refreshing.

That's about $9.00 for one of the best things in all of Asia.

I agree Mango7.

Thailand is so about the people, the politics, the food, not it's gaudy buildings! I'll get howled down here by the PC's on this board-who really cares?

Mango - your comment on the Grand Palace- you must be joking right?

$9.00 is a bargain for such a wonderful place...deep with history, tradition, culture, beauty, grace. We were there 4-5 hours and, well, many, many photos! Have been twice to Thailand; visited GP both times. But...to each his own!
