It is as the news article says, if shops want to exchange money get a machine to check the bank notes. This is hardly the crime of the century and not really news worthy. I aways have to show my passport, which is then copied to change money. Every single note is checked including blue light check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think you can tell a nationality, especially one so ethnically diverse as British, by their racial appearance then you can be called a racist before you even get to your points about trust based on race.

British government should take responsibility to replace her fake money. I know many of these travel agents gets only 100-150 baht per ticket sold.

British government is 6000 miles away and the Embassy staff are busy moving. Perhaps she needs to be more careful if she is going into this business. A cheap UV light is normally used plus there is a type of marker pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
