A General Tip: If you have one, bring a student ID. It’s totally up to the mood of the person at the gate, but you can often score a student discount off the 200 baht foreigner fee at national parks. Just smile, have it handy, and ask if there’s a student price [in Thai: "mii raakhaa samrap nakrian mai khrap/ka (depending if you're a guy/girl)]. Technically I don’t think there is, but it seems like most of them want to help you out if you can give them an excuse. I have yet to pay the full foreigner price using this strategy.
