The Hammer2021 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Are you really that strapped for cash that you can't bring in 500 quid? And then use it here? How do you intend to live if you have no money? Using your bank cards will be more expensive than changing cash. Having a thousand dollars emergency money is useful anyway. 10 hours ago, Badger18 said: Yeah, but I think this rule is basically there to catch you out, or in other words to give them a concrete reason to refuse entry when their real concerns are a bit vague or hard to prove. 'Catch you out' LOL Do you really think that 20K baht is unreasonable? Do you really believe the immigration officers are trying ' to catch people out'?

I don't really want to be wandering around with 20K in cash in my pocket. If they had an ATM air side I could withdraw 20K there only if required to show the money by immigration. For some here, 20,000 THB is less than a good night out costs. ???? BTW, in over 25 years and likely 100+ entries by land and air have never once been asked to show funds.
