July 8, 20241 yr Hello, My bank gave me a bundle of 100 new 100 bahts notes and in the bundle I found a note with the usual designs, except that it is yellow-gold, not the usual colors I showed it to Thai people around me and no one has ever seen a note like that was there a commemoration?

I’m here for any amusing comments. Be careful!
July 8, 20241 yr Thai treasury department print and mint new design banknotes and coins like on a daily basis, (mainly commemorative coins) myself as a collector of Thai coins and banknotes has already gave up on following what are the new coins/banknotes that are going to be minted today...

July 9, 20241 yr Popular Post I had some. The Mrs washed my shorts and didn't say anything. When the shorts came out of the wash, I quickly went down the pockets. Nothing! Where could they have gone? It's a mystery. I prefer the old notes.

It has happened before, but with the older notes, I thought they just disintegrated. These new notes are quite pretty, and are not paper. A plastic pollysomething, so they didn't disintegrate. I think she is becoming a collector of different items. Have to be more careful in the future.

July 9, 20241 yr Popular Post They were commemorative notes issued a few years ago. They actually issued some of them at atms. I've got a whole bunch of them in sequential numbers and mint condition. I'll hold on to them.

July 9, 20241 yr Some banks in Hua Hin malls just love to palm off their unwanted notes to foreigners..

They issued pretty much the same notes in a very big format, too. Like A5. I have been instructed by gf to look out for some. Any ideas where to get them? Edited July 9, 20241 yr by Lorry

When did you last see a note, less than 500 baht in value, with HM King Rama 9 on it? As I said, they are as rare as hen's teeth here and when I travel. Thais are not doing it to make money. Not everything in life is about money. Thais are doing it in his memory. The Thais that I know who are collecting them would never sell or use them unless there was an emergency. Stay happy in your ignorance about people's emotions.

I had some of the older 20 baht notes that got wet, so I tried ironing one - make a nice, crisp, dry note. Well, there is a pouch that expands like a little balloon when you do that, rendering it useless. I can't stand those new 20 baht notes. Nasty plastic pieces of garbage. Just something wrong with them.
July 10, 20241 yr "Thailand aims for 3.4 trillion baht in tourism revenue by 2025 " Even 3.4 trillion of them & still only baht. Not bahts.
