On September 23, 2026, a Thai delivery rider shared a photo on Facebook, claiming he had received what he thought was 5,000 Japanese yen from a customer. The rider explained that the food order cost over 400 baht, and the 5,000-yen banknote amounted to around 1,000 baht. The customer had reportedly told him, "Tip for you. Good luck, my friend," with the rider posting the story alongside a playful caption, asking if he could receive such a tip every day.
However, the joy quickly turned to confusion when another Facebook user pointed out that the banknote was not Japanese yen but a 5,000 South Korean won note, worth approximately 122 baht. The Thai rider had mistaken the Korean currency for Japanese yen, transforming a seemingly generous gesture into an unexpected currency mix-up.
