ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all

I'm going to Penang ( Maleysia ) this week to obtain non business visa.

I will be crossing Sadao Immigration.

I have heard that you need to show 20k bath on the border to the officer.

Can you tell me if it's possible to show your bank account instead of physical money?

Kind regards
