In Thailand a bank lends no money but buffalo!

Have you ever thought going to your bank asking for a loan and walk away with a buffalo? In Thailand, it is possible! The Thai Royal Buffalo Bank is unique in the world it gives no money, money is so has been, only buffaloes. See this little video report about this new kind of bank.

Regardless of the fun side of this initiative, it is good way of preserving the species whose population has drastically lowered from 7 million to 2 million in 30 years despite official campaigns to convince farmers to still use buffaloes.
