allane Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) As far as I know the Thai govt. says "the more the merrier". There may be a rule about how much you can carry out from your departure point. Edited November 9, 2018 by allane x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without declaring it - Quote Foreign Currency Travelers bringing foreign currency more than USD 20,000 or its equivalent into or out of Thailand are required to make a report to Customs. This report is required by the Ministerial Regulation (No. 25) B.E. 2530 issued under the Authority of the Currency Exchange Control Act B.E. 2485 and relevant regulations. http://en.customs.go.th/content.php?ini_content=arriving_in_thailand&lang=en&left_menu=menu_arriving_in_thailand 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkv Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 @miketu The reporting limit in Thailand has been reduced from USD 20,000 or more to USD 15,000 or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grusa Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 A person I know recently brought in GBP10,000, about US$15,000. No declaration needed, the limit is US$20,000 - anything over that must be declared, but can still be brought in no problem. What she did not know is that their is a limit on how much you can take out of Europe without declaring it, of 10,000 Euros, about GBP 7,500. The cash was pIcked up on x-ray and she was detained and questioned. Luckily she could prove the provenance of the money, but she could have been fined and/or the money confiscated! Also luckily she did not miss her connecting flight.

lkv Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Ok, so I will reiterate. The current limit is USD 15,000 (without the need to declare). Please refer to the post above from a moderator of this forum, and the following: https://www.bot.or.th/English/FinancialMarkets/ForeignExchangeRegulations/FXRegulation/Pages/default.aspx The Thai Customs website is not updated. In the other post, the mod has also attached the current customs form in pdf format, which also confirms the 15,000 USD amount.

Same as per link by lkv above - Quote Any person bringing into or taking out of Thailand Thai baht bank notes, foreign currency bank notes or negotiable monetary instruments in an aggregate amount exceeding 450,000 Baht or USD 15,000 or its equivalent must declare to a customs officer. Different amounts for Thai baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoshowJones Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Just bring in any amount of money you want, that's what I did when I first came to Thailand, why go around looking for peoples rules and regulations to obey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember this is Thailand and different immigration, airport authorities, or whatever, just make up their own rules, and even different workers of the same authorities in the same office will give you different answers.

Bringing it in is the easy part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
