Actually, banknotes are printed on high rag content paper, the supply of which is restricted to approved mints. The are NOT printed on "material" per se. Timpatco a former Xeroid Hi,

You have just compared one old banknote with a newer updated one, both the ones shown here are fine. My wife (Thai), a very "sticky" certified accountant who works for a "farang" firm went and checked with three Thai banks and when my wife checks something, she does not go the mai pen rai route. The fake notes are printed on paper, not material. The color runs when the bank note is placed in water. The metalic strip doesn't feel like a metalic strip. You cannot see the water mark when held up to the light. This article is incorrect. You have just compared one old banknote with a newer updated one, both the ones shown here are fine.

In Udon Thani I have never seen a fake and to be honest I could not be 100% sure if there are any around. In England they give them out of the ATMs they're that good.

The second picture displayed is not a fake but one of the "older type" Thai bank notes. NONE of the older type notes have the spots, the flower or the stripe, but are still real notes. The second picture doesn't have the big "silver" strip on the front of the note ... The first one does ... Why isn't that circled? The first note backside has a reddish print, while the second one had a green/blue print. There are so many differences between the two notes, but the ones circled in the pictures above is NOT the way to identify them. I have about eight notes in my possesion all being FAKE according to these pictures. I went to the bank and they confirmed they were real. When I said I didn't want them, they exchanged them for newer notes without a problem. This is NOT a legit picture of “real” fake notes.

I can confirm according visuals above! Samples 1 & 3 are ok 2 & 4 are fakes With possible other fakes circulating. Walter: Some watermarks on these banknotes you only can see with special infrared machines (can't check @ home). Just had a look in my wallet this afternoon (couldn’t check in the morning).

The fake does not have the Kings head as a watermark. Well looking in my wallet, neither of these two are fakes. The fake does not have the Kings head as a watermark.
