It was almost unheard of for them to ask to see this unless they were looking to deny you entry (most commonly because you had done too many Visa Exempt visits) but the "Rules" are they can ask you for this alongside proof of onward travel &amp; hotel bookings.   Sounds like it's your 1st time to Thailand so I highly doubt you will be asked to show it, but given the poor exchange rate you'll get for SEK, I'd recommend you bring in some USD/EU anyways, the fact that it will cover you for this is a bonus.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 23:30:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>90 day report</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397371-90-day-report/?do=findComment&comment=20566473]]></link><description>The TM30 effectively your change of address.

I used to use a quite good one but they closed that and moved my account to a much more inconvenient branch.  The degree of incompetence is outstanding!  Took two goes to get them to obtain the 12-month statement from HO and even then they got the issue date wrong.  The account certification letter that they produced was not in a format acceptable to immigration - had to get that from a different branch.  My comment on the difficulty of opening a bank account here does not relate to my situation as i already have two accounts here.  It was only a reflection of what many members have reported when trying to open new accounts.  Anyway, my extension is now approved so I'm good for another year.  Hopefully, things will be a bit clearer by this time next year.</description><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 23:27:43 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Deep State Firings Have Begun</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397372-the-deep-state-firings-have-begun/?do=findComment&comment=20566469]]></link><description>Search for the guilty.

The Reconquista is history. Muslim conquests from Iberia to India over 1300 years are all relevant, then and now. And you talk of illegal wars!  The topic concerns the growth of the Muslim population as a possible fundamental threat to UK culture. Perhaps after the repeated bombings, knife violence and rapes then maybe it's not surprising that hostile attitudes towards Muslims risk becoming increasingly common?</description><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 23:26:04 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>British Man Assaults Municipal Officers in Chiang Mai</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397369-british-man-assaults-municipal-officers-in-chiang-mai/?do=findComment&comment=20566467]]></link><description>Yep, I've been getting nasty comments from some here for years when I speak negatively regarding foreigners.
