Gsxrnz Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Fish, 400 baht. Punching the fishmonger, stupid. Having your ear sliced off instead of your cranium cut in half, priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrycallahan Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I was punched by a songthaew driver in similar circumstances on Phangan, a room and him to pay for and he'd indicated he'd clear both up. What if you use a pencil to mark your 1000 baht notes so you can prove he's holding your note? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeJoMTB Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Never pay street vendors and drivers with 1,000bht notes. When you go to the ATM, never select 10,000bht ....... type in 9,900bht. Then you have change. Alternative Always use 7-11 ATMs, then go straight in and buy a 20bht bag of crisps. Then you have change. Edited February 15, 2016 by MaeJoMTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jing Joe Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Is that his ear that he's holding? Very likely Simon. He wouldn't be interested in much else eh. Not even the 600 baht change. We hear about the first aid to put a severed finger in cold milk for re-attachment, but how about ears? What a tricky operation to stitch back on. Wow. If you know your history this story is history repeating itself from 2000 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalansanitwong Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 A long stay farang expat can pay vendors with a 1000b note but not tourists expecially in hell holes like Pattaya and Phuket. I bought 90 baht worth of food from a vendor last night and she gave me 910 b change for a 1000b note. no probs! Once a year she hands out free cakes to her best customers. Me included. Tourists are sitting ducks here. They have to break all their money down into 20,50 and 100's and spend according to the price. Tourists often complain they give a 50 or 100 baht note to a samlor for 10 or 20 baht fare and he simply drives away. What do you expect!!!
