so i did withdraw 25'000 from the main bangkok bank building in mukdahan. im now in laos and noticed that 1 out of 25 papers is different. here are some pictures

normally it should have this wide silver strip on the side. and i guess im out of luck if its really the case and try to complain to the bank.

It's an older style note. Nothing to worry about.

thanks, didnt knew that

got nervous and didn't knew if i should spend it or not. scared of getting in trouble

Appears to be a series 15 bank note - Bank of Thailand

I got a 500 note as change that I didn't recognize from a gas station last week. Out of fear of being in possession a fake 500 baht note went into a 7/11 to use it. It was duly accepted.

Was your fear of being in possession of a fake 500 Baht note less than the fear of the consequences of being caught attempting to pass a fake note (if it had been fake) in a 711

Well, Querty does place the 'e' next to the 'r' so that is just fat-fingering

I think they are taught to check out fake notes, I've seen them hold big bills like 500 baht and 1000 baht up to the light to see if there is the hologram, one of the easiest ways to check and hardest things to fake by amateurs.

Oh kiwi, kiwi...

I must be getting older if I say that it just looks like a normal 1000 baht note
