Digital nomads are allowed to work from their laptops as long as the income is outside of Thailand. Even immigration officers in Chiang Mai have confirmed that .
They just need a valid visa . And of course need to show they can afford to live here, I would think at least 20 000 are digital nomads in Thailand. I am one of them .
And what visa do you need for this?

Real schoolboy error not having 20k on hand. Not having 20k is now going to cost you a minimum of 20k and you should not be disappointed with thailand but yourself. All could have been avoided. Suggest you spend a bit more time on here and try to understand what mistakes you made and how to avoid making them in future.
Yeah I agree you're right. I've never seen any information about having to have 20k cash. I thought that I just had to have 20k in my account when I applied for my visa, as they asked for bank statements.

Why did Vietnam immigration charge $140 for 15 days, I was under the impression as a brit if you return to Vietnam within 30 days of last visit then its $25 for 15 day visa in that you can only have one free visa every 30 days. Did you get a receipt for this or was this a bit of hush money incase they exercised their right to refuse you?
Travelling by train will be safer, flight to kuala lumpur, then another flight to penang or alor setar and board the commuter train to padang beasar.
They gave me no receipt. Under the impression they scammed me tbh. Didn't really have a choice other than to pay. They said to me when I arrived that I have 2 choices, I can pay the 140 dollars or they will send me back to England lol.

You were denied entry under 2 of section 12 of the immigration act.
"2. Having no appropriate means of living following entrance into the Kingdom."
I think you will have less problems entering at Chiang Rai than at Bangkok. Just be sure you have the equivalent of 20k baht in cash and proof you have other funds to live on after enter the country such as a print out of you bank statement.
Where would you be entering at by train. (Malaysia I assume)?
I'm trying to figure out how I can get baht while I'm in hanoi. I have money in my bank account, don't really want to draw out dong equivalent to 20k BAHT as I most likely can't exchange it in Thailand. I'm not too sure about the train yet, a friend suggested it.

My tourist visa was not stamped but it's a single entry tourist visa. I am currently in Hanoi where I was sent back to. I booked a flight from here to Chiang mai this time, instead of BKK, where I was stopped. Do you think I should cancel the flight and maybe go by train?

out of curiosity would an io allow the person in question to simply withdraw the 20,000 baht at the airport atm? perhaps security to escort the person? then they can also witness the bank balance per atm machine.
Well I told them then money was in my bank account and they didn't seem to care. I have heard that immigration have let others to do though.

I was doing my own thing online. I was not working in an establishment or taking anyone elses job. There are many people traveling the world doing this. Yeah maybe your not officially allowed to do this but there are people that stay in Thailand for years working online. I had around 7000 baht with me in cash and the rest was in my bank account. I can't see why anyone would want to carry 20000 baht with them in their pocket. It's not exactly small money. The Embassy clearly saw I had enough in my account when they gave me my visa which I'm also guessing immigration have access to. I have also read that people that did not have the money in cash were aloud to draw it out of an ATM. For the guy that asked I am from the UK, which they seemed rather surprised about.. doesn't take long to save up money from the UK to be able to travel Asia for a year. Below is the only paperwork they gave me. I will check the passport stamp in a bit. I have also had like 3 tourist visas and maybe 2 exemptions.

Guys I really need some advice here as I feel like I am being treated very unfairly. Basically I left Thailand and went to Hanoi, Vietnam for 5 days. While I was there I applied for a new Thai tourist visa. I supplied the embassy with bank statements ect. I was given my visa the next day, and headed back to bangkok. Immigration stopped me and said what are you doing here. I said traveling. The lady replied with I don't think so, you have been in and out of the country for a year now. They put me in a detentions cell over night which I had to pay for and made me pay for a flight back to Hanoi. Their reason for doing this was that I didn't have 20000 baht with me in cash? I arrived back to Hanoi and was told that I can either pay 140 dollars to stay for 15 days or pay for a flight back to the UK. The immigration in Thailand said I can come back in two weeks time. All of my belongings are there. I've wasted so much money due to them messing me around saying that I never had enough money, when most of it was in my bank account which I had told them. Anyone have some advice please?I know they are obviously just making my life difficult for me because I have had a few visas but there is no law stating how many visas you are allowed. I broke no rules, was granted a visa after showing the Thai Embassy my earnings. Yet I get told I can't come in because I don't have enough money? After being told to get out of their country and go back to my own. Tourists are Thailand's main income, and now to be honest it's put me off wanting to go back.

I arrived in Thailand by bus from Lao i'm pretty sure I had a TM.6, either way I think I have lost it. I am due to extend my tourist visa in the next few days and the TM.7 form requires my TM.6 number. Is this going to be a problem when I go to Udon immigration? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi guys,
I'm just wondering if I'm able to get a single entry tourist visa, from the Thai embassy in London on a one way flight ticket? I've heard that I need a return, just want to confirm this. Thanks.

Thanks guys, you have been a lot of help! When I re-enter does it need to be by air or can it be by land also?

Quick question if anyone could please help, as there is so much mixed info online...
Basically I heard that if i have a single entry tourist visa once the 90 days is up, its possible to stay in Cambodia for a week and then get a whole new single entry visa granting me another total of 90 days. The multiple entry tourist visa isn't really an option for me right now as I need to prove I've had the required funds in my bank for 6 months, so really I am looking for an alternative option. Thank you

It wasn't due to how I was dressed. It was because they thought I was working there. They even wrote down that I didn't have 20k before they even asked to see my money. They just didn't want me there. Even if I had 20k they'd probably find another reason. Maybe they wouldn't like the fact I have blue eyes or size 10 feet. They can basically do whatever they want even if you provide them with everything they ask.
