Thai characters and numbers were copied from Khmer. Khmer/Cambodia was always there way before the Siamese even existed!

Pal! it's NOT Thai character and Thai numbers, it is the fact that Thai looted Khmer treasure and copied from the Khmer. Do you understand?

Bong heng Soy,

They are NOT thai characters. They are khmer. The coins were first printed by King Ang Daung in 1850s.
