Hi all! My son and I will be traveling to Thailand on a tourist visa next month. So far, my passport has 2 visa exempts, 1 border run, 2 visa extensions, and 1 tourist visa. This will be my second tourist visa and my son's first tourist visa since we have first been going in and out of Thailand in November 2018. We will be arriving at Chiang Mai airport. How much Thai baht do Thai immigration officers usually require to present upon arrival as "show money" if travelling with a child?  20k or 40k thb? Thanks! 

 

PS. I have been to other countries this year and last year, too, (Hong Kong, Macau, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, India) other than Thailand, if that makes any difference.. 

Officially, you need to show 40,000 baht, the amount required for a family.

Yup ^^^ 40k to be safe. It doesn't have to be Baht, just any exchangeable currency (USD, GBP etc) but it must be cash (or travellers cheques if they still exist) I'm afraid.

 

Correct but it is highly unlikely that you will be asked to show it.
