stretch5163 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have brought in large sums from the UK with no problems. But i did take the time to fill out all the relevant customs paperwork UK side and Walked through the red door to declare when came into Thailand. Had no problems at either end. Im sure you will have a similar process from the US. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Another option is to bring travelers checks, largest amount available like 1000 USD each. They charge by the check not amount to cash. TC get the highest rates and get instant deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Policies are likely to vary depending on where you are flying from if bringing cash. If there is a declaration requirement and it is not done, don't some airports have cash sniffer dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartempion Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Get yourself a Non-Imm O-A (for retirement) multiple entries visa at your local Thai consulate, this will give you up to 2 years permission to stay (need to leave Thailand and return last day of year 1 to get an other 365 days). Then transfer 800k baht at least 2 months befrore expiry to your Thai bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
