[owl sees all]

Thai bank notes are one of the most difficult to reproduce in the third world. The 1000 Baht note, and the 500 is almost 100% polymer.

 

Also the notes have a quick turn-a-round. Hardly ever see old, tatty 1k notes.

 

I think the 50 and 20 Baht are still paper (will go check).

Should have used better printer and good quality papers....lol

She made a big mistake. She should have had a Phuket RTP official distribution agent with a wide underground network.

The money may be fake and the pointing, lets just say needs some work also.
