Re: "Toxically un-Thai," (letters, June 1).
Felix Qui overlooked a key reason why the government maintains Thai numerals that was left unspoken by Deputy PM Wissanu Krea-ngam. Thai numerals are a mainstay of the government's dual pricing policy at national parks, historical sites and other tourist attractions owned by the government. Without the ability to post Thai prices in Thai numerals, foreign tourists with no knowledge of the Thai language whatsoever would be able to see at a glance that they were being asked to pay several times more than Thai visitors pay to see the same attraction.
