Advice please from anyone who can read Thai?

[zxzoomy]

 

This is a receipt a friend sent me.  It appears to be for 50,000 baht. But when I try to translate that in google translate the result looks nothing like the written version on the right. Please can anyone who can read Thai advise whether the sums match?

Moving to the Thai language forum. 

[zxzoomy]

Thank you. Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.

No, in Thai it stands that your friend only paid 500 baht.

 

[zxzoomy]

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm very confused. Google translate says five hundred is ห้าร้อย, which looks nothing like the text in the image.

It says 50,000 baht in Thai.

Because it states "500 baht even" or " 500 baht exactly"  Ha Roi Baht Tuan or ห้าร้อยบาทถ้วน

The written in numbers just forgot the decimal in 50000 should be 500.00

You clearly can´t read Thai.

It stands like mania explains 500 baht even, and it should have been standing 500.00 instead of 50000. If you look closely, you might see an almost invisible dot. ????

You are correct I can't read Thai, but my wife can. She's adamant that it says 50.000 baht. She probably reads Thai better than you.

Your wife can be forgiven as the writing is quite tiny but....I think if you mention to her what I said or show her what I wrote in Thai she will agree

after looking again closely at that posted pic...That what I wrote in Thai is the same as what is written on receipt ห้าร้อยบาทถ้วน

Just sorry to say that she is wrong. Never mind, you continue believe her. Just hope she do not take care of your economy. ????

 

Naturally, she would read better than me, and that´s what worries me.

Yes above Nan

Oct should be a good time !  I just noticed this morning that the weather had a bit of a change .  Felt fresh and cool .   We've had quite a bit of rain lately ( in CM area and Lamphun where I am)    

October bike rides will be nice.  Enjoy

I like Lamphun too! We also had a condo (we sold) in CM & use to drive to Nan often

But we always stopped in Lamphun to eat especially one place on highway near big gold statue of that famous monk,

Restaurant had Great Sai Ua ???? Think the name was Dao Kanong?

That is where the immigration office is located  LOL     I live quite a distance from there .  Closer to the HWY that goes from CM to Chomtong.   Beautiful area ,  lomyai and mango orchards.

Please continue your discussions about where you moved to or where you lived in Thailand in a private conversation rather than discuss in this topic.  Thanks.

Anything right of the decimal point would be in satang.    Does Thailand still mint those coins?   The cost of producing a 25 satang coin is probably more than its face value in 2019.   Dunno how that works in the world of macro economics.

 

Australia ditched its one and two cent coins decades ago, and all cash transactions are rounded up or down to the closest five cent margin.   I understand they are still legal tender, so I guess if some bright entrepeneur collected all those useless bronze coins lost under grandma's couches around the nation, he would be a billionaire.

Sorry.... I thought we might get called out for that..... and I was just about to post photos   LOL

[zxzoomy]

Thank you for all the replies. My friend is asking for cash help to pay this sum. There is a big difference between 500 and 50,000. I take it the consensus is not to be too generous?

Thank you for the confirmation. I'd rather not say too much at this point. Either my friend is trying to con me, in asking for help to pay it, or those who issued it have conned him. I have advised him to ask Thai people to read the paper. Thank you all for your rapid help. Much appreciated.

Toowan - exactly  http://www.thai-language.com/id/142300

 

As in:

หนึ่งร้อยบาทถ้วน

neungL raawyH baatL thuaanF

exactly one-hundred baht

 

Hah Roy is 500. Hah Pan is 5,000.  Hah Meun is 50,000.  Etc.

 

So it's 500 baht!

 

๑๐๐	100	Nèung-Rói หนึ่งร้อย
๑,๐๐๐	1,000	Nèung-Pun หนึ่งพัน
๑๐,๐๐๐	10,000	Nèung-Mèuhn หนึ่งหมื่น
๑๐๐,๐๐๐	100,000	Nèung-Săen หนึ่งแสน
๑,๐๐๐,๐๐๐	1,000,000	Nèung-Láan หนึ่งล้าน

If you pay 50,000  you can be sure that your friend and her friends will be sharing a lot of 5555555's

What's that expression, "I hah roy"? I don't recall the real meaning, but it may be appropriate in this case.

don't try that expression out when drinking with some thai "friends" .    you might find out whether appropriate or not  ????        Mai dtem roi ..... or mai dtem baht are similar    can be humorous but best not used unless sure the other will see the "humor"

[zxzoomy]

I will not be helping with 50,000. What an excellent forum. And I've learnt something. Mai dtem baht 'not the full baht' or 'a few cents short of a dollar'. But what does "I hah roy" mean?
