My brother will visit in October. In years past I read reports of people being denied entry into Thailand because they did not have 20,000 baht or equivalent in another currency in cash. 20,000 baht or U.S. $600 is a lot of cash be carrying around and does not sound like a good idea to me.

 

Is there any news about this?

 

Thank you in advance

The 20k baht or the equivalent of it in another currency is still required but is seldom asked for unless they are looking for a reason for denial entry.

Have a look at this 2 page topic about it.

 

Thank you!
