Two tier pricing is racist
I usually walk away twice and get them down to 900r. I've never gone as far as geting to about 20m & turning to point with the "Jao!" accusation, probably could get another 100r off I reckon.
Then I give them a dollar anyway.

That's why it's discounted(which are mostly just paid by the white boyfriends anyways).
Two tier pricing common in Australia. Here in Cairns locals can do Reef trips about 30 % cheaper than tourists.

The OP is a total racist anyway, so he deserves to get treated like a cunt.

Isn't two-tier pricing inherently economic, not racist?
I'm pretty sure Khmer okhnas and people driving flashy cars get ripped off for pineapples, too?
Foreigners who can afford to get here are richer than loads of Khmers, the cheapest ticket from the nearest expat destination is what, $300 (Australia)if you include the visa?

Worst place for two tier pricing has to be Indonesia, especially Java. It is pretty much government policy, free or stupidly cheap for Indos , x ten for foreigners, the hotels n restaurants note this and do likewise, Malaysia is similar.
k440, something to do when you're pissed.

This. In Vietnam, the people that pay the most are "Viet kieu" (overseas Vietnamese). They have to show how rich they are, even if they are only flipping burgers in Little Saigon. The vendors know this and take full advantage.vladimir wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 7:38 amIsn't two-tier pricing inherently economic, not racist?

I remember reading about poorish Khmer working in Thailand being charged $800 for a two year passport extension by Khmer agents.vladimir wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 7:38 amIsn't two-tier pricing inherently economic, not racist?

It's not racism. It's bigotry sometimes, but mostly greed fuelled by opportunity. The shop keepers in Cambodia do the same if you're not local too. People from other places in Cambodia often have stories of being over charged when they first arrived in PP to study etc.
Do they hike even more for white skin? Often, but I've never been charged $800 for a two year visa. That's like a 1000% gouge on what they should have been paying for their passport extension.. Whereas, a Caucasian visa extension is only just under a doubling of the official fees.

At the market, I think pricing goes in this order:vladimir wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 7:38 amIsn't two-tier pricing inherently economic, not racist?

- Tourist
- Foreigner that knows his way around, but doesn't speak a lot
- Foreigner that speaks Khmer / Local rich Khmer
- Local Khmer
I'm not sure how a Chinese guy fits into the above.
I do know that Khmers don't wear any jewelry or anything flashy, etc, when they go to buy items that they plan to negotiate for. Or, they'll send their driver/minion to buy it.

I think it befits us nasty neo-colonialists to have to pay a bit more for our privileged positions in society. And as noted above, it keeps out the riff-raff who like to haggle over the price of a pineapple and think everyone can stomach 50 cent draft beer. Speaking of which... where the hell has my punkah wallah gone?
