ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello has anybody recently had any issues at the airport with them asking to show the 500,000 THB, that was needed for qualification is still in your bank account? I’ve heard multiple people saying they had issues at the airport with this and was just curious if everybody was experiencing this?
