The Thai wife and I were accused of passing counterfeit 1000 Baht notes by a cashier at Big C in Khon Kaen this evening. I got the bills from an ATM, so I wasn't worried, and the manager cleared it up quick. But, after reading about fake bills on another popular site a couple weeks ago I'm wondering if this is much of a problem? Are farangs suspected of passing fake bills more than Thais?

I did a quick poll of my in-laws, who own several business' in Khon Kaen and Udon Thani. All said they watch out for counterfeits, but none of them had seen any, at least that they knew of.

I got one from an ATM about 3 years ago. Only found out when I tried to exchange it in the UK.
