Fake notes in circulation

[rick]

WARNING - Fake notes are in circulation. Wife was passed 2 100 baht notes last night in the shop. They were pretty good - just slightly faded, I needed to compare to a genuine one to spot the difference - had the gold dashed line and different serial numbers. If you check the dashed gold line in a good light, you can see 100 baht inscribed on each of the golden dashes in a good note, but not there in the fakes. Paper was quite realistic. Ink smudges when rubbed with alcohol.

Perpetrator was not from the village, wore a crash helmet and mask, and drove a motorbike with no number plate.

Thanks Ken. I've shared the Thai language link with Mrs tam. Pretty sure they're onto this already but good to know anyway rather than snippets from the media.

"sweaty expat paradise of Udon Thani province" must be lost in translation.
