BEWARE of Counterfeit 1,000 Baht Bills!

[SukhumvitRoad]

"In Phuket, police arrested three people and seized three fake 1,000-baht notes in Thalang district on Wednesday."

They seized three banknotes?

Wonder how many they actually found before they started passing them around.......

Snick,
          The link you have in your post states.
In a comment below a reader clarified that both banknotes shown below are correct. The fakes seem to be based though on the "old" design.
Here's an illustration of the obvious differences between the old and new series (and not of reals and fakes as claimed earlier on ...): Also, I found this at http://www.thaipulse.com/blog....hailand

How to spot one

According to a Bangkok Bank source, notes with serial numbers starting 9A650 and 2D150 should be examined carefully.

This from another site says how to identify a fake bt1000 note.
"Feel the word 'Thai Government' [which is printed in Thai] and you will find it is embossed on the banknote if it is authentic," Somchai said.

He added that when the banknote was held against the light, a watermark of His Majesty the King's portrait would become clearly visible.

"Moreover, if you notice, you will see small translucent numerals and letters indicating the value of the banknotes on the metallic colour thread too," Somchai said.

When tilted, the numerals showing the values of each Bt500 and Bt1000 banknotes also change their colour when viewed at different angles.
