PETALING JAYA: The government will give a six-month grace period in the first phase of electronic invoicing implementation, which will commence on Aug 1.

BANGKOK: The Tourism Authority of Thailand ’s Phang Nga office met with provincial officers and tourism operators to address the problem of dual pricing against foreigners at the famous Panyee Island.

In their video, the duo chose a bracelet costing 300 baht and a mother-of-pearl item costing 500 baht. When they asked for a discount, the seller said they could add another item and the total bill would be 1,000 baht. The YouTubers rejected the deal, saying the price was too high, even at a tourist attraction.

At the meeting on Thursday, TAT governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool said the agency had promptly launched an investigation as soon as it heard about these dual-pricing problems. “However, handmade souvenirs are usually sold at prices that both the seller and buyer are happy with,” Thapanee said.
