The Thai governemnet has proposed doubling the fees at national museums and archaeological sites thoroughout the country in order to cover increasing running costs, although war veterans, the disabled, the underprivileged and students wearing uniform will remain exempt from entrance fees as well as khon yai conducting inspecetion tours and politicians seeking a photo op.

For Thais the price will rise from 5-10 to 10-20 baht and farang kee-nio with be charged 60-80 baht for the privilege of visting such archealogical sites at Sukothai, Kamphaeng Phet, and the national go-go dancing institute in Buriram.
