Great Thailand Stories I

So, Brian, Newton, Jen, and Tai, and probably a few others, are walking through Bangla road on our last night in Patong Beach before boarding the Scuba Cat for five days at sea. Realizing we should probably get some cash before we leave -- booze and tips -- we decided to hit the ATM.

We make withdrawals, take our receipts and walk away. Someone notices that our bank balances have been converted to Thai baht. (35 baht to the dollar, give or take.)

Newton says, "Isn't it crazy how big your bank account seems?"

Brian looks down at his receipt.

Balance: 11 Baht

Not so crazy to me!

(It was pay day and there was some mistake and so it didn't post... maybe it was the whole dateline thing. It sorted out.)
