...previously they said they busted a Thai gang producing fake banknotes.....since 2002 or 2009.....(?)

 

....just one question.....'Where did all the money end up?'.....

 

...without one detection....???

At least this time it's quite obvious they're fakes, they're printed all out of focus!

It quite clearly states he paid a 320 baht bill with one of them!

More interesting is the fact that the police confiscated his boiled rice and bottle of Lao khao.

Lots of fake Baht notes, Kip and U.S. dollars coming out of Phnom Phen. The U.S. government has complained about the large number of fakes in the U.S. made here.
