<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 24555026, member: 130786&quot;]I really like the green 1936 20 Baht despite the rust on the reverse. I like the intricate designs of TDLR notes vs the simplistic Japanese occupation versions. I also like the way the old notes always had scenes of a temple (or floating market, palace, etc) from a river/canal as a vantage point. </p><p><br /></p><p>While waiting to leave Bangkok, we watched an 8&#039; monitor lizard swim around looking for food in a canal.&nbsp; The canal was at the back of our hotel. When we went back inside the hotel, there was this old B&amp;W poster photo of several businesses next to the canal from 1950&#039;s.&nbsp; Hard to imagine, but I believe most of the transportation in Bangkok was by boat through these canals long before roads! </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the older Thai banknotes capture this older way of life.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
