Do I need to have 20,000 Baht in cash when entering Thailand on a 30-day stamp?

When entering Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption, travelers are generally advised to have 20,000 Baht in cash. However, it is known that this requirement may not be strictly enforced, and any equivalent currency is accepted. Important to note is that there are no ATMs available once you pass through immigration, so ensure you have the cash prior to boarding your flight. The likelihood of being asked for this amount is low, particularly for first-time visitors.
