Burma 500 kip bank note

Burmese 500 kip note showing a water buffalo and its handler plowing a paddy field, these animals are still to be seen on every field and farm they were ubiquitous in their presence. They pull carts of produce and people.

As Burma opens up to the world and mechanisation gradually replaces beasts of burden there may come a day when water buffaloes are consigned to exhibits in zoos and children’s parks.
