Ever notice Thai banks unlike their UK counterparts for example do not write on the money, in fact Kassikorn Bank has refused on more than one occassion overseas banknotes from myself that have been written on, as they consider it to apply to all money.
Well this is incorrect, my bank Siam Commercial Bank writes on the bills everytime I deposit a wad of them. They count them put rubber bands around it then write the count on the top bill.
Sure enough I looked through six 1000 THB notes that I have in my wallet and one of them has 33 written on it.
There are clear areas of the note that can be wriiten on without defacing the image of the King.

- Pay your 20 and 40 baht tolls in the taxi from the airport with a 1000 baht note. I have never seen a tollbooth refuse a 1000 baht note.
Good tips CG, I use the one above all the time. The booth operators already have neatly counted piles of change to handle both 500 & 1000 THB notes and are never phased by you giving them a large bill.
Additionally, this helps out pay the taxi at the end of the ride who never seems to have change.

One side of the notes show the face of the king.
The other side shows the king sitting or standing depending on the note. Be carefull the free space on the notes is actually a watermark of the king's face. You do not want to overwrite the watermark showing the king's face when held against light.

Dear All,
I work at BKK airport and I seriously think you have got it all wrong. As far as I know there are NO ATM's once you are through departure immigration, meaning that you must have used an ATM BEFORE you paid your departure tax of THB 500. This would mean that you DID have a 500 baht note in your wallet and were given the correct change.
You were departing to Cambodia and you therefore most likely were at the international terminal where the above counts.
I know the place that you are talking about as it is the one of two places where you can have drink and a cigarette other than the lounges. And I am a smoker.
If anybody knows better please advise!

Very interesting post Skirtchaser. I wondered about this when I read the original post - where was that 500 baht change note??
Is it possible LBM that you did a "Minder" after all and they just paid 500 to get rid of you????
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Minder posted: Nah...I'd say well done and good luck to you.
I'd be likely to do the same as you LBM but in my version about halfway through the second announcement, now outside as I point accusingly at the offending restaurant, I'd notice I am waving my departure tax receipt and realise that I only had 4.5k left when I sat down....Enjoy
