Apologies Tomatos ,tomato's . 12 or 15 cm you can still hold in 1 hand so going back to the original story he is right that a million baht can be held quit easely in 1 hand . Or you have to have small girly hands ,but i know enough girls that can hold 15cm with their small hands but that's a whole different story ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, pretty much any old plastic bag big enough to hold a large Chang. Wow, I would have thought a thai bank note was more than 0.00012mm thick.

Popular Post Crossy Posted May 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2021 Quite a few of our members need to refesh their maths ???? I can't find numbers for Thai notes but a US$ is about 0.11mm thick. Multiply by 1,000 (assuming 1,000 Baht notes) gives 110mm = 11cm. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, to keep it simple and avoid accidents with decimal points, the stack in question would be 5 to 6 inches tall. Just depending on the "fluffiness" of the notes, i.e. how used they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you claim that 100.000 Baht staple is only 1.2 cm high, then I doubt you have ever seen 100K together I just measured it for you with a digital caliper, and a staple of 100 x 1000 Baht notes = approximately 15 cm, depending on how hard you press the caliper Learn how to read before calling others jealous. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Above I pictured the million (part of it for my car purchase in 2011). This is a screenshot from a video of 350'000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEDKlcXBT84 Some really have no idea. 1.2 cm for 100'000 sounds plausible.
