Why do some Thai people seem to take advantage of tourists?

Ben ********

I have never minded the fact I get charged a little more than a local when I am traveling. If I earnt the same as an average local then I wouldn't really be able to afford to travel to another place, aslong as it's only 20% more +/- then I just see it as a tourist tax.

Ben ********

I've extended visa exemption many times and never been asked for this tm30, only time I've heard of it is on these groups to be honest. I might just be lucky or maybe my accommodation has sorted it out for me without me knowing but I've never taken one with me just told them where I'm staying and given address
