I thought 20,000B was the maximum. But the 1000 Baht being bigger I'll head I new wallet which could leave  many shops unable to sell the standard one of the moment.

Can't help you there, it's above my pay grade. ????

Let's all forget about the economic crisis, the skyrocketing unemployment, the pandemic and fears of Covid 19, and the Student Protests..... 

 

Let's mint new bank notes? 

 

Seriously?

Good Point, and we know how much we love to be entertained. 

 

Then again, I read in business insider how Disney just posted its first loss of 2.75 billion in 3rd quarter 20.

 

First loss since 9/11 attacks. Not to mention the 40000 employees about to be laid off...

 

Movie theaters? Does anyone go to those anymore? 

 

Cheers

I used Krungsri, my own bank, today and noticed that their limit is 30,000 THB. I've read that Bangkok Bank also has a higher limit, but these are, apparently exceptions.

full plandemic package, welcome to the new BS.

i boycotted cinemas several years ago when they started to push their stupid agendas into art. the same goes for music. the good stuff was buried many decades ago, for me it can all go away, i would not even notice.

I just received my first "new" B100 note today from 7/11.

The color to my aging eyes looks IDENTICAL to the B1000 note.

Even the owner and other customers agreed!

Crazy!

Did they run out of pink/red ink??

And still no note denomination printed at the top.

Going to be some mistakes made with this one !

Bear with me....

 

So if you see this in the front of the note "@OOO" that's the 1000 Baht note. If you see "@OO", that's the 100 Baht note.

 

Okay, counting zeroes should be easy for anyone. Well, perhaps not everyone.

 

I do not read Thai, nor have the luxury (ha!) of having a Thai keyboard to enter the correct symbol on the bank notes. But I know the difference between "oh" and "oooh".

 

P.S. Maybe the odd shape for the 1000 Baht note is meant to assist the blind.

As I've commented a while ago,  WHY is the note's denomination no longer printed at the TOP of the note.....as it used to be and IS on any other country's bank notes that I have seen/used.

When you look in your wallet it's the TOP of the note you see....not the bottom or the colour!

Please correct me if I'm wrong. 

You could always put the new notes in upside down.

I use Kasikorn Bank and my ATM limit is 30,000 baht, but I am not sure if that is a daily or a transaction limit.

so check before one goes out to dark bar !!!!

check what? I always go out with a variety of bills so I can match any occasion.

 

You only take 1 bill? What if you go to 5 bars? And want to take home a rental or two?
