Usually 10th through to 17th.
I was of the understanding that the Songkran parade takes place on the 19th, and that is a very WET day!

What is this? I've been to many Thai funerals but never heard of this.
It's time for you to get out of the touroid areas!

Why do you need it for national parks ? do you get the Thai price for admission ?
Yes, I get Thai price for admission when showing my Thai DL.
Not only do you get the Thai price at national parks but I have found I get the thai price at ALL places that have a dual pricing system. Off the top of my head, these places include... All the touristy attractions in Royal Garden, Crocodile Farm, Nong Nooch Garden, Dolphin World, Tiger Zoo, Underwater World, Phuket Aquarium, several national parks... in fact.. now that I'm thinking about it.. I can't think of any place that had dual pricing that didn't give me the Thai price.
Also, you just show them your Thai DL, no need to say anything as they all seem to understand and give you the lower price without comment.
Not all places will give you the reduced rates based just on your DL, the more savvie places want to see your WP to get the reduced rate as a DL proves nothing as to your "resident" status in Thailand...further some places will not even entertain a DL or WP and make you pay the full price.
flashing a Thai DL or WP doesnt mean automatically you will get a price reduction
Maybe not, but it's always worth trying!

Nong, I should be more worried about how you are going to do your visa runs to Mae Sot, should you become ill or bed-ridden before you apply for a retirement extension!

Keep waving the flag Nong, these peasants north of our border don't understand what it is to enjoy a good party!
