The women at the market have a superstition that if the 1st customer of the day doesn't buy anything they will suffer bad luck for the rest of the day. I love going to psar Thmei in the morning and refusing to pay the ridiculous prices!!!

Why would you want to go there anyway??cambod wrote:Thanks for clearing that one up!

Just in case people are still confused...
I NOW AGREE WITH LTO THAT YOU CANNOT SHOW UP WITHOUT A LICENSE AS PROOF YOU ARE A LOCAL TO RECEIVE THE LOCAL DISCOUNT! THAT WOULD BE PLAIN SILLY!! WE SHOULD ALL BE GLAD LTO CAUGHT MY MISTAKE BEFORE ANYONE TRIED IT!
I walked past it once when i was over on Diamond island ( at the FREE amusement park, where u just buy tickets for rides) and saw no reason to go in and we were with the families kids

I was encouraged by a fellow member to post my experience at Dreamland yesterday. I must admit, I have not read all the pages of this post, so maybe my story is old news and the same thing that has been said. I do not have "proof" that I live and reside in Cambodia, and as a new resident, I don't really know what sort of proof or ID I could actually attain that would constitute as proof, so I apologize for my ignorance .
Yesterday, my Khmer girlfriend and I wanted to go to Dreamland. It was her idea and she was very excited to spend the afternoon there with me. I was pretty stoked to go as well. It seemed like a nice afternoon out. So we park in the Dreamland parking lot and take a walk over to Diamond Island and walk around for bit. The afternoon is going well, we are enjoying our time out together. So we finally head back to "Dream"land and get in the queue to buy our tickets. She steps up and buys our 2 tickets. We start to walk through the metal gates ready to enjoy our day after PAYING to get in. All of the sudden, a young Khmer male staff member comes running up to my girlfriend. Long story short, he explains that we must exit and go back through the gates to buy ME the "foreigner priced ticket". I about fucking lose it at this point. We are in the park, ready to enjoy our day, they have our money, we have our tickets......hmmmm. The girlfriend, whom a few members on this forum have met personally, is nothing shorty of a reserved , quiet, ultra shy woman, starts yelling at the kid in Khmer, something which surprised me. Then a young Khmer female staff member comes out and says to me "You must pay more".
I fucking lose it- I understand I am a guest in THEIR country, but I am trying to make THEIR country my home. I say something along the lines of " Why must I pay more!!! (point to my skin) because I am white, Barrang!!???!?? I see the young girl is taken back and I realize that she is just a staff member so I calm the fuck down, but I am still pissed off. The whole time, the girlfriend is telling them that I live here. To wrap this up, we just walk out and demand our money back, which they give us no problem. The girlfriend tells them in Khmer that we will never be back to visit their establishment ever again.
At this point, an American/Canadian Khmer male in his 20s standing in line buying his ticket that must have overheard the commotion says to me " Yo man, whats wrong?" I say "They are trying to charge me way more because I am Barrang"..... his response " Thats fucked up , yo"...
So Dreamland, in general, you are losing money, because we will never ever go back to your shitty park.
To wrap this up in a classy manner......... DREAMLAND--- Eat a Fat one you Racists pricks.

Anyone who doesn't like Capitalism is a pathetic loser. God bless the USA and no place else.
I tried to go there a few days ago and the cashier wanted me to pay white man tax. It isn't going to happen.
Considering the public acknowledgement of their previous fuck up I did expect better.
Whats worse is that we aren't even talking about the cost of a lawyer in Singapore compared to the negative publicity.
Apparently they are associated with NAGA which still doesn't give them an excuse for being dumb but apparently it's something they have to bear.
On the other hand I appreciate the personal time I get from this. So it's not all loose loose.

It's time K440 members go there, get offered to pay the foreigner entry tax and turn them their back. Big words won't work, many people refusing to pay and go else, might.
Fucking dreamland! So what is it they require as proof? Has anyone asked them what they would accept? It's a shame as Cambodia has fuck all for kids to do in the capitol. It can become frustrating for parents with young kids. There are only so many times i can take mine swimming a week before i start finding it tedious.
There is Kids City opening soon, but that is just gonna be a massive cluster fuck of kids tearing around high on sugar for the first few months. Hopefully they won't apply the white man tax there.

I came, I argued, I'm out
with all the time i'm spending at the pool that shouldn't be a problem. Maybe i should buy a krama and start saving for nose reduction.

DM - Where were you when your girlfriend stepped up and bought the two tickets? Hiding in the bushes or something?

(Again, I explained my opinion of that on another thread. Angkor Wat makes all their profit from foreigners *fair enough* and they let the locals in for FREE *making NO PROFIT off the locals*, whereas Sceme Land just adds a ridiculous price for white skin. HUGE DIFFERENCE!)
So NO, Angkor Wat does not have a similar policy....
Dreamland, on the other hand, is a privately-owned, for profit enterprise, attempting to gouge foreigners. They don't let Khmers in free, but their business model apparently has been adjusted to the 'screw whitey' paradigm. At the end of the day, outrage or not, it will succeed or fail on its own merits. I hope most people will see it as egregious and discriminatory, and stay away in droves. But they have a right to take a flyer on it...
No chance I'll be going soon.
