eeeya Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 So these little ba$t@rd$ really do my head in. I get home and pants off to have a shower, coins falling and rolling everywhere. Mrs hears all the commotion and then she's on me to pick every single one up. So there I am scratching around trying to get a finger nail under them but they're impossible! Every donation box gets em now. Good for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Just wet your finger tip, press down, lift up and voila you've picked it up. We've got piggy banks overflowing with them and rarely put them back in my pocket the next day. Keep the 5 and 10 though but not the 1 baht, 25 satang, 50 satang. 2 baht, never sure what to do with them except write 2 on them like the Thais.

Popular Post lust Posted August 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2014 The satang should be eliminated and round everything to the closest 1 baht. Even the homeless people outside 7/11 will get pissed off about them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upnotover Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Same in England, 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p all a waste of time but good for charity boxes. But at least here we get notes for larger denominations, in the UK you can hardly walk after a night out for the weight of 50p, £1, £2 coins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Costas2008 Posted August 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2014 You are complaining about the small coins, the other one was complaining because 7/11 didn't give him back his 25 satang. What's wrong with all of you? Are you ever satisfied? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taony Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 You need to keep them when you get them so you can use them the next time - or you will just keep getting more! Like pennies in the states - use one and avoid getting four more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_brownstone Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Not so very long ago - at least in my timescale (!) - the Baht was called a Tical (leading to many comments about "how many tickles in a Bath" type of thing!). A 1 "Stang" coin (Baht / 100) but more frequently the larger 5 or 10 Stang coins were common currency, especially Up-country. If you think the current 25 / 50 Stang coins are a pain to handle you would be driven crazy by that coinage. Patrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 When I go shopping and the bill comes out to some odd satang, I just dig a bunch of coins out of my pocket and let the sales clerk take them from my outstretched palm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKASA Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Have a piggy bank at home and deposit them all in it. It took a few years but it filled. We dropped them off all at once into one of the donation boxes you see around. It is cash and spends so let someone that needs them have them. Have already started refilling it.

Pants off for a shower and its rolling around on the floor...aaahh I thought you were joking when you complained about satang coins. If 5 baht coins are such a problem just tell them to keep the change. I'm sure that whoever sold you the water would be happy to do so. Life is so hard.

Gringogazzer Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The Satang is just over doing it. I'm constantly asking what the hell they are for. What can you buy for 25 or 50 Satang??? Every few days I present them to the wife and tell her they are for all the hard work she does or I love her so much I want her to have the sum total of my wealth. With a giggling Wai I receive a "Khorb Khung Ka" Answered my own question, they buy a light moment with my wife. Wouldn't live without them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 711 here have a sign asking for the small coins If they didn't have the small coins they wouldn't know what to put in all of those divided compartments in their cash register. They have even structured their pricing to actually use them. The last bottle of milk that I bought was 84.5 baht! Mine go in a dish and when full go in a plastic bag and are then deposited in the armless beggars dish at the Wednesday market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I built our (the Wife’s) house, 1 red brick cost 50 satang… If, as some one suggested that they did away with the 25 and 50 satang coins and rounded the prices to 1 Baht, my house would have cost twice as much to build (brick wise). Just saying like. Have a Nice Day Edited August 21, 2014 by firefox999uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Easy fix, things tat cost 50 satang now 2 for 1 baht. Things that cost 25 satang, now 4 for 1 baht! Round off large items to nearest baht and remove the dividers in the cash drawers so the clerk doesn't have to think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
