    Are you serious? How am I bashing Thailand? Now two gunmen shooting indiscriminately at locals in the past week. This country has never had to deal with this sort of Western influenced behaviour before now. 

    Its not a new thing at all, folks get shot regular here have and always will be as such, its just grabbing headlines and do note he was making a lot of noise for the adrenalin rush and then did a runner but doesnt state any one was hit ?  says it all.

    Interesting that 7 Eleven don't bother to count them?

     

    Probably once a year (eeh, we're poor) I take all the satangs to Big C. They'll change them too, except I have to wait while they count them.

    Oddly enough, I put them in Barclays coin bags someone bought over here for me.

     

    The banks here don't seem to have coin weighing scales that will tell you how much value of the same coin is on the scale. They want to sellotape them up in five/ten/whatever Baht amounts.

     

    Pray tell me that this is not a total rip off , yes or no ?

    Thank you for the Information 

     

    I have gone to local amulet shop in where I am most of them said its original but they are afraid to say the value of the amulet until it gets verified by an authenticator 

     

    Many ask me to leave it in their shop so they can help me sell it but Im a it sceptical to leave my amulet with them 

     

    It make get changed to a fake ones 

     

    So I am planing to go Bangkok to a bigger shop and get their opinion 

    Most if not all street stall sellers are hustlers, ive just seen some samples of your amulet on the bay starting bids as low as 35 bht, the big shop owners are your best shot.

  5. Famous amulet market bangkok by the museum i think its pronounced Prah pah chan but has a huge amount of fake stuff but most sellers know whats what....you may find fakes on e.bay and get the location for a vist.
