dr_Pat_Pong Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 maybe this is an old subject, but how much are you officially allowed to carry into thailand <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As much as you want to bring. To be allowed to take out $US 10,000 or equivalent again you need to declare it on arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmonica Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Kreon, There is NO limit to how much you can bring in -- the more you bring in, the happier THEY are -- the trouble many fellas get into is when they then, at a later date, decide they want to take most or some of these funds OUT -- without the original transfer receipt it is just plain tough! .. that's the kicker. Get the "incoming funds transfer" document issued to you when the funds arrive (with you or by SWIFT transfer etc.) -- guard that doc. dearly. You can then safely, and with only a little hemming and hawing, send it all back out again when you later choose to do so. I've done this many times and it works flawlessly.

kreon Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 thanks all for your responses, it just confirmed what i thought all the way i thought this was the case, but as i was asked at the airport, after they checked my bag(1st time ever in 20 yrs!), why i had 50K on me, i was not so sure i told him that it was none of his business, and that did the job au revoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I don't know other countries' laws, but when you enter the USA (probably as a citizen or alien), they ask you how much you're bringing in and then warn that it's not illegal to bring in more than $20,000. But it's a crime not to DECLARE it. When you declare more than $10K, they probably send a CTR (Currency Transaction Report) to the IRS, which may later track it against your reported world-wide income.

simon43 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 i thought this was the case, but as i was asked at the airport, after they checked my bag(1st time ever in 20 yrs!), why i had 50K on me, i was not so sure 50k??? That seems a very low amount to be questioned about! I've brought in 1 million baht in cash and declared this in the red channel. Customs officers didn't bat an eyelid and just sent me on my way. Clearly, I must look to be an outstanding member of western society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
