No. She didn't mistake 500 note to a 100 note, because when the nice man at the money exchange at the Suwarnabhumi airport changed her 250 Kroner and gave her only 200 baht, she figured 500 Kroner is 400 baht and would easily cover the 343 baht fare!

 

I really do think that it was just a mistake on her part .

She thought that She would give the taxi driver 100 Kroner , which She said was about 400 Baht .

    It turns out that the Kroner was worth five times that (2000 Baht).

The logical answer that is that She mistook a 500 K note for  100 K note and both notes do look very similar

The biggest surprise is that this cabbie accepted to turn on the meter and not try to cheat (as most Thai taxi's do), with the usual wacky made up fare usually around 600 or 700 THB!!
