Er was enige tijd geleden een discussie over vreemde prijzen en verschillen. Ik heb de Bayoke manager om uitleg gevraagt en will jullie zijn uitleg even laten zien:

Dear Khun Chai,

We thank you for your e-mail on 28th January 2005 requiring about the service prices of the Baiyoke Sky Hotel. Further to your query, please be advise that:-

1) The travel agencies both local and overseas certainly get contract rates which are lower than tariff rates since they have guaranteed the room night productivity. Those walk in guests, either Thais or foreigners, tariff rates with special 20-30% discount will be applied. However Thai government officers and Thai corporate employees with the mutual official contracts, can also get special room rates at our property.

2) For food & beverage services, Thai customers get cheaper prices than foreigners.

We thank you and remain.

Yours sincerely,

Chaiporn Mahakan

Executive Director & Group General Manager

Dit is zijn (of haar, je weet dat nooit met Thaise namen) e-mail adres is:

Leuk om eens te vragen of je met een donkere huid ook de lage food en bevrages prijzen kan krijgen :-)

Thank you Khun Chaiporn for your quick reply.

Partly I understand this, corporate rates, but that this is limited to the Thai race is something I believe is not of this time.

Also on the food and beverages, this can easily be explained as Bayoke being racist as it's the colour of the skin basically that is the judgment factor. Trust you agree.

I believe that it's time to avoid negative publicity by stopping these practices.

To see the feelings of farang on racially based pricing , please have a look at this link:
