Who goes out to dinner with the family carrying around 200,000 thb in cash? Just sayin.. something doesn't smell right here.

Do you really think he planned on being robbed? Just sayin'. Apparently you don't go to the bank much. When 1000 baht notes are all that is available people don't have much choice.

No I don't go to the bank much. I use my Thai credit cards for large purchases and pull out small amounts of cash from the ATM when needed. On the rare occasion I need to make a large purchase with cash I don't go carrying it around town while I eat. A little common sense will stop a lot of grief.

Would two 100,000 baht notes be any better (if available) ?
