Do I need to carry 20,000 baht each time I return to Thailand after a border bounce?

@Tod ********

extremely helpful, thank you.

@Laura ****

Proof of funds works like this

IF you are asked for proof of funds at a thai consulate in another country as a requirement to get a visa you show a bank statement.

IF you are asked for proof of funds at a check point where you stamp into thailand you show CASH (baht or the equivalent).

@Tod ********

quick question on proof of funds, do you need cold hard cash or just a bank statement showing you have funds? Thanks!

Thanks Tod.

So what do you think if I have 160,000 bahts worth of T cheques but no cash ?

@Pe***

, the equivalent of 20K baht in foreign currency is fine..

For proof of funds Tod ?

Also 500 cash GB pound sterling.

I won't buy baht outside Thailand because of bad rate.

@Pe***

, you can use them.

On the 20 k arrival question. What about travellers cheques ?

@Er**

, it has always been the location that Cambodians Laotians and Burmese use for their extensions, 90 day reporting and their work permits.

It was just an alternate site other foreigners could do 90 day reports at too.

I heard that Big C Ratburana (the other immigration office for Burmese, Cambodians & Laotians) are telling foreigners no more 90 day reporting there too

I went to Imperial Ladphrao for my 90 day reporting today was advised this was the last in future I have to report at Chaengwattana. Ladphrao is to become a Centre for Lao, Cambodia and Myanmar labor force reporting.
