Banknote information
During World War II, the Thai government was unable to order banknotes from Thomas de la Rue, England, because England was on the side of the Allies. Thailand therefore faced a shortage of banknotes. The government then requested that Japan produce banknotes for them, with Mitsui Bussan Kaisha acting as the representative for the Japanese government's banknote printing plant.
The later banknotes printed in Japan differed from the earlier ones because Japan was heavily attacked by the Allies in the later period, resulting in a shortage of materials for producing banknotes.
Banknotes were transported both by air and by sea. During sea transport, when the Allied attacks intensified, the transport was switched from Bangkok Port to Singapore Port, and then to Bangkok by rail. Once, when a train arrived at Tha Chang Station in Surat Thani Province, thieves kicked banknote boxes off the train. The stolen banknotes included 74,000 5-baht notes, 224,000 10-baht notes, 72,000 20-baht notes, and 40,968 100-baht notes. Later, it was discovered that these banknotes had been printed with a forged signature of the Minister of Finance and were circulating in the system. The Ministry of Finance issued an announcement on August 24, 1946, notifying them of the illegal numbers. To prevent damage to honest investors, it was necessary to investigate some cases to determine whether they were obtained honestly. This group of counterfeit banknotes is known as Thai Theeb banknotes or Leng Tha Chang banknotes.
