Are there different “cash export” laws at different exit points out of the Kingdom? Why do you folks say 10,000THB is the maximum that can be carried out, when the sign in Don Muang clearly says 50,000 THB is the max Thai currency that can be carried out of the Kingdom??

Does this law just affect just land-crossing border runners, or does it also affect legitimate businessmen that travel in and out of Don Muang?

I have a non-immigrant “B”, 90-day. I fly out every 90 days to either Singapore or Hong Kong (I have other businesses there, also)

I notice that the sign in Don Muang, at Customs/Immigration, says that I may not exit the Kingdom with in excess of 50,000 THB.

But, I must come back with 40,000 THB to cover myself and my “family” (my wife is also a foreigner)

What about other currencies? I generally carry a fair amount of Thai Baht, and a mix of “real” (non-third-world-shithole) currencies like Euro’s, Pound Sterling and USD. When I travel, I generally have no less than a $5,000 USD equivalent on me in mixed currencies.

Are they going to try to enforce this at Don Muang, or just where day runners cross at land borders?

To Giant Boy:

We are watching you, Citizen.

We know you are, and We are not amused. We have your retina scan, your fingerprints, and your brain wave patterns on file. We know who you are. Der Faderlund Zeecurity is waiting to interrogate you. See what happens on your next visa run to Poipet.

To answer your allegations, well, Of Course many of the photos were either staged or faked, we taught the Thais to do that, and we are proud of our work. Toxin is a cooperator with the USA, and we need him in our War on Terrorism.

Do you think for a minute that Toxin even so much as takes a dump without prior permission from my boss, The Station Bureau Chief? We arranged for both the Muslim uprising and for the so-called over-reaction by the Thai Police. It is our job to insure that the world views the Muslim Problem as one universal problem, and not as simply an Amerikan or a Zionist problem.

Body count, it is all about the Body Count. Friendlies or Foes, they all look the same and it makes for good press. I remember when I was a Military Reporter just starting out during the Vietnam War. Ah man, those were the days. Then, and now, you gotta have Body Count to have a good war.

In closing, please understand that we will manipulate The Truth, and you should not question it. The Truth is what ever we say it is.
