Can I use my Thai Driving License to get a local rate at museums in Thailand?

I suppose it’s important to save the seven dollars US, and if that’s what really matters, that’s cool. My understanding is that the reason for the price disparity is that Thai nationals help subsidize these institutions through the government, who intern funds them through revenue, including taxes. So taking advantage of this loophole does save the individual money, but does nothing to compensate the institution. But I guess looking out for number one is still important to many.



This is the museum where back in late 2023, they were charging foreigners less than Thais if you booked via Klook. No need to show anything to the officials on duty at the time, other than your Klook booking.

That's awesome! Which museum is that?

wow

Works in many places pattaya area too

Unfortunately, this doesn't work everywhere. They usually want a Thai ID card these days. A driver's license is no longer sufficient. You just got lucky.
