Thought go and visit there then log on to their web site looking for price and found this scam.
Different price in Thai and in English.
Farang Adult - 850 abht, Thai adult 350 baht.
Farang kid - 650 baht, Thai kid 250 baht.
Didn't realize that a respected place like paragon will act like a stall in the market... but I guess they're all the same.

It's not the money, just the principle...
I won't visit there and hope others will do as well.

How can it be a scam ? They quite clearly state the prices. Nobody is trying to trick you.
Dual pricing is the way it is in Thailand, same when you go to any public attraction. Ko Samet for instance is another example Farng have to pay 200B(I think maybe more now) Thai pay 20B

The prices for Thai adults and kids are lower because their spending power is much less.
The farangs are sponsoring the Thais. I think that locations like zoos and aquariums should be open also to lower income classes.

Having a misleading pricing system pisses people off.
It does not say that Thais have to pay a cheaper price than foreigners but that is the case. Most farang reading that will assume that the prices in Thai are the same as the prices in English. Instead, they are paying more than double.
If you inquired with management, they'd probably say something about Thais paying less because they are nationals and pay taxes. That's the general excuse in other tourist attractions places, like Koh Samet. That 20 baht price and 200 for foreigners annoyed the hell outta me the first time I went there.

Baskoy,
So why they try hide it by printing the Thai price in words and no in numbers ?
They sure know it's unfair and farang won't like this separation...
Anyway, you can pay double or three times if u like to, I won't...

the most clever one I ever saw was at the Butterfly compound which isn't too far from Kao Keeyoe open zoo
they had 3 prices in Thai numberals, Falahng - Asian - Thai
It's one of the only times I've gotten the Thai price, but I think it was just because they were shocked I could read the pricing sign, LOL
used to really burn me at Samet when they'd charge me 200 & let the TGF in for free
yes, it was free for her one time, the officer said something about he didn't have time & was more apt to grabbing another group of Falahngs just getting off the boat
I think what it really came down to was that he didn't have change
