I think I've already given away a couple of the new 2s instead of 1s.

Bloody hell...... I will have to get my pockets reinforced

The 2 baht coin has been in circulation sometime now, and its causing a few problems amongst the natives, even me afew months back when paying the 1 baht toilet fee at MBK i paid with a 2 baht coin and no change given!! I didnt argue the point as i truly believe the girl just took it as a 1 baht coin, seeing as she must see hundreds a day and had the face of a slapped wet lettuce!!

Are you sure that wasn't just another example of two-tier pricing for farangs?

I seem to get charged b10 for a toilet visit what sort of mark up is that!

nowhere near as bad as the "24 heures du mans race" where you estimate how many sheets of paper you need to buy (if sit down)before going in (smiley lady 10 franc a time)who called the gendarmme? when i lobbed a roll over the top (open air) to my mate.

As a result i think thai toilets are most reasonable!
