You want to bring baht into the country?

 

Surely you want to bring in another currency and change it at super rich ?

 

 

Where's that

Posted

Import of hard-foreighn-currency is unlimited. Export of hard-foreighn currency is very limited.
Importing 16 suitcases full of cash in form of $ / £ and Euro will get little attention of Customs, Hotel Receptionists, and Thai- Female -Hostesses.
The only problem arises if one wants to repatriate 16 suitcases full of $/£/Euros.
"Big-Joke" (Thai language: "Chock" has nothing to do with "Joke" in the connection with the English language) is waiting for "Tourists" like this.
More power to him and less power to people that have to ask how much "hard-currency" they are allowed to bring into Thailand.
Cheers.

There was a super rich in the airport last week and several other money changing franchises 

 

Try opening your eyes sometime in the way through...

As much as you have.

A million Euro is 2000 notes, easy in carry on :biggrin:

A common misconception that there is a limit for bringing in cash.

You should check the rules for your country of embarkment!

For most countries:

if the money is "clean" (proof of source) you don't have to fear any declaration at your border or in Thailand.

Still some kind of a secret.

Money changers on the entry to the airport rail link which is outside of the AOT mafia rule.

Misc booths with excellent rates.

Superrich among them.

If you're planning to buy baht outside the country and bring it with you, you'd probably be better off waiting until you get here and exchanging your foreign currency in Thailand.  You can convert a small mount at the airport and then later look around for the best rate assuming you end up in a touristy area.

Last time i checked you could travel with upto €10000 or equiverlant, over that you need proof of origin and declare it.

You're correct for Europe - but that will depend on where the OP is travelling FROM.

 

Leaving UK that is the official amount but UK Customs can enquire if you're carrying £1000 or more - if they're not satisfied that it's your money, honestly obtained, they can confiscate it.

Note my use of the word can, not will!

From google

 

Any person who brings or takes an aggregate amount of foreign currency exceeding USD20,000 or its equivalent out of or into Thailand shall declare such amount of foreign currency to a Customs Officer.

Guys, 

  It is $20K per person, my wife and I can carry that amount each... After that you need to declare it, but can carry more if you choose to declare...

Bringing currency in or out of Thailand | Royal Thai Embassy

Bringing currency in or out of Thailand. Any person who brings or takes an aggregate amount of foreign currency exceeding USD20,000 or its equivalent out of or into Thailand shall declare such amount of foreign currency to a Customs Officer.

The amount is usually on the customs declaration form. US over $10,000 needs (you should) declare. In Los Angeles a guy boarding 

the flight and was stopped by authorities they went through his carry on and wallet. His nest trip was headed out with a police escort
