Expats and Western tourists in Thailand and the Philippines have been complaining for decades about dual pricing at tourist sites and National Parks... And here is the new America First version. I hope they'll be equally critical 🤔

Changes set to take effect on January 1 will include annual park passes jumping to $US250 for foreign tourists, while US residents will continue to be charged $US80, according to authorities.
