How Much Cash Are You Allowed To Bring Into Thailand


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just to clarify, there is no limit as to how much cash you can bring into Thailand (as indeed with most countries) BUT there is a limit over which you must declare it . Last time i looked it was $10000 or equivalent , and as it was that for years it probably still is .

why does he need to bring CASH?

Credit cards .... cashiers check .... ATM's ......

atm rate and credit card rate not as good as exchange kiosks, he would be changing large amount so he would save a fair bit

no limit in how much you can bring in, only limited to how much Thai currency you can take out.

Your friend may be saving a few pennies in the exchange rate by bringing in cash, but he risks losing the lot through theft.

...and that theft could be as far away as the taxi driver who transports him from the airport to the taxi drivers mates house where your friend will be attacked.

Most Western authorities require travellers to declare large sums of cash being taken out of the country.

Wrong advice, it may never happen but it is upto your airline as well! For instance if you were stopped at your home airport it could be the airline that sets a limit. If I were you just transfer as it is always easy. I transferred large amounts without a problem. Although the Thai authorities can freeze it and investigate what you need it for?

The airlines have no authority in how much cash you carry. It's the immigration of the country that you are leaving from that may set a limit. From the USA, I believe it's maximum $10,000. Above that, you need to declare it.
