Photo: Eakkapop Thongtub PHUKET: -- Police are warning people, especially tourists, to be wary of counterfeit B500 banknotes after several fake banknotes surfaced at a popular market in Phuket Town last night (Feb 5). At least six fake B500 banknotes had been received as payment for purchases at the Talad Yai market on Thalang Rd, said Lt Somchai Noibun of the Phuket City Police. “We are aware of the reports of the fake banknotes being handed around, but the vendors at the market have yet to file any formal complaints,” Lt Somchai told The Phuket News this morning. The vendors reported that teenage girls were responsible for handing over the fake banknotes as payment for products, Lt Somchai noted.

To this, police believe the fake notes were produced with a cheap printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
