Do I need to show cash for entry into Thailand with an ED visa?

@Dan ****

the "score" is

You're confusing the two times you're likely to be asked for proof of funds.

One time is at the thai consulate when you are getting a visa. If you are asked for proof of funds for the visa you're getting you show a bank statement you CANNOT show cash.

Another time is when you're stamping in to the country at passport control. If you are asked for proof of funds then you show cash (20K baht or the equivalent) you CANNOT show banked money.

You may be asked for proof of fund (cash) much likely at southern land borders.

Yes, they want to see 20.000 Thb or equivalent currency in CASH, this means real bank notes in your hand. Not bank statements, bank apps on mobile phone or tablets.

i would not advice that. You will need money to spend anyway, so why not get around 300 dollar (i think that s the ammount you need, 300 dollar for single person, or 600 dollar vor family)
