Junket for the Feds.These currency rules are well explained at the other end.Why dont Ozzy customs do the work he is asking Thais to do.Isnt that what they are well paid for,which after all is an Aust.problem.

Rubbish..... I managed to get well over US$100,000 into Thailand simply by having it wired in over a few months by western union and just picking it up from many of their terminals.... easy peasy.
