Signification
Purchasing an entry or travel pass.
Contexte culturel
Dual pricing is common at national parks. Thais pay a lower rate, and the ticket might look different. During Songkran, tickets for buses and trains sell out months in advance. This is called 'tua tem' (tickets full). In cinemas, you must stand for the Royal Anthem before the movie starts, even after you've bought your ticket and sat down. Buying 'Lotto' (huay) is a national pastime. Sellers on bicycles will carry boards of tickets to you.
